One telltale sign that fall is upon us is when Starbucks starts to roll out their famous red cups filled with their popular pumpkin spice latte. This is a fantastic drink to warm the soul on a cold Fall night, but if you don’t want to shell out a couple of bucks every day to get your fix, you can make it yourself at home.
Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Latte:
Method of preparing the Pumpkin Spice Latte:
-
Heat the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and a generous helping of black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it’s hot and looks cooked - about 2 minutes.
-
Add the sugar and stir until the mixture starts to look like a bubbly, thick syrup.
-
Whisk the milk and vanilla gently and warm, making sure that it doesn’t boil over.
-
Carefully process the mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender until frothy and blended.
-
Make the espresso or coffee and divide between two mugs. Add the frothed milk and pumpkin mixture. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
