Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pumpkin Spice Latte, the most talked about drink in the USA! So many have already been featured in my friends' Facebook or Instagram posts and it’s barely October! 

If you happen to be a PSL lover but don’t have access to a Starbucks, never fear, you can make your own at home. 

*Small disclaimer, it won’t taste exactly the same because a real latte is made with espresso and flavored syrups, and this one is made with coffee, real pumpkin and spices. I wanted something that is accessible to more people, without fancy equipment or ingredients. 

This recipe is easily adaptable! Can’t have dairy? Use almond milk or coconut milk. Can’t have sugar, or want a healthier option? Use any sweetener you like! Maple syrup, honey, agave, Splenda, stevia, etc. (you will just need to scale down the amount if you are using an artificial sweetener). 

if you don’t have “real” pumpkin, that’s ok too! The pumpkin we have in PNG is kinda like a cross between an acorn squash and a butternut squash. Add enough pumpkin pie spice and you’ll never know the difference 😆

Feel free to adjust the amount of coffee to milk as well. I prefer half coffee and half milk, but many of my test subjects requested more coffee flavor. So if you actually like the taste of coffee, and not just the pumpkin spice 😉 just make stronger coffee or add more coffee to your cup.
