Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pin It Now! I find myself completely carried away with the tastes of the autumn season. This morning, I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and it was unbelievable.

Pumpkin Coffee Latte!
(Makes about 4 cups- depending on the size of your mug!!)
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk (I use skim)
2 cups freshly brewed coffee!
1/4 cup pumpkin puree

In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, combine the pumpkin puree and milk. Stir for about a minute and a half. Then, add your vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mix, and heat and stir until foamy! Pour in your coffee and stir until it is nicely meshed together!
Ladle it out into your favorite mug and enjoy!

Who needs the Starbucks version when you can make your own?!

My apologies for the lack of photo! I was in quite a hurry this morning!

  4. YUM!! I'll be trying this but adapting it to my tea drinking since I don't drink coffee. I do love my chai tea lattes and the tea already have the spices in them. Think I will add the pumpkin milk (maybe with some of the extra spices you used) to my chai tea. Can't wait!
