Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

Let me start off by saying I LOVE Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes, but I really hate paying $4 for one cup of coffee.

 

I found this recipe for a homemade pumpkin spice latte! I was so excited!

 

 

 

The recipe was great except for the fact that it was a little to strong for me

Here is her recipe but with my changes:

1/2 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon unsweetened canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup hot brewed, strong coffee
3 tablespoons half & half cream
3 teaspoon granulated white sugar, or more to taste
 

Directions:

1. In a glass measuring cup or microwave-safe bowl, whisk together milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, spice and vanilla. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes- watch closely and remove it from the microwave when the milk is hot and frothy.

2. Pour the pumpkin milk into a tall mug or glass. Add hot coffee. Pour in the cream. Add a teaspoon of sugar. Stir, and taste. Add more sugar, if desired.

 

 

The bottom of the latte was kind of gross because some of the pumpkin sunk to the bottom.. I am not sure how to fix that though. Maybe try with less pumpkin puree?

Let me know if you make it! Have you tried another recipe? How was yours?
