Raise your hand if you love girly fall drinks! (raises hand) It's no secret that I'm a sucker for seasonal hot drinks but I'll be honest I've never been the biggest fan of Starbucks- it's way too sweet for me and just never that satisfying. If I'm ever out and need a coffee I always stop at Dunkin or a store that has Green Mountain Coffee- If I do end up at Starbucks I'll just get a hot tea. I also hate spending money on useless things- drinking $7 dollars worth of sugar water seems like a waste so I decided to make my own Pumpkin Spice Latte! This turned out so delicious, I'll definitely be making it again!
Recipe: Makes 2 Cups
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Pumpkin puree
1/2 Teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
2 Tablespoons Vanilla extract
2 cups Whole milk
1/2 a cup of coffee
Instructions:
1. Heat the pumpkin & spices in a small saucepan over medium heat- stir constantly about 2-3 minutes
2. Warm the milk and vanilla gently
3. Blend the milk until frothy
4. Pour half the coffee in mug topped with the frothed milk & pumpkin mixture
5. Top with whipped cream & a sprinkle of cinnamon - I also put in a little pumpkin spice cookie stick! You can find these at any store in the cookie aisle.
* You can add sugar to this drink but I find its sweet enough without it!
Do you have any fall drinks you love? I'd love to know!

ReplyDeleteI'm just like you and I don't really like Starbucks drinks either!! (Which is ironic since I collect their mugs when I travel!) I actually didn't have a PSL until last year... I thought it was gross lol. But yours sounds much better!! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is a great recipe! So much healthier and you save some money too! While I am dairy-free, I can easily see this working well with all the other different milk alternatives out there too. Thank you for sharing!
