I really love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks, but they are so expensive and I'm sure they have a ton of sugar.
So, I found two recipes on allrecipes.com to make at home.
Today I tried this one.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
-Brew a cup of double-strength coffee.
-Heat up a cup of milk.
-In a blender, combine the hot milk, a heaping teaspoon of sugar (or sucanat), 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
-Blend until frothy.
-Pour the milk mixture into a mug about 2/3 full.
-Add coffee until the mug is full.
-Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice (and whipped cream if you like).
The verdict: I still prefer the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, but since it is too expensive to get often this homemade version will suffice.
Update on Fri. 11/5
Today I tried the other recipe and it was so awful that I won't even bother writing a separate post for it. It is similar to the one above but uses two tablespoons of pumpkin puree. It tasted like melted pumpkin pie and I could barely drink the whole mugful, so I definitely don't recommend it.
Looks so yummy! Right now we have been having weather in the 90's but Sunday it is going to rain, this would be perfect!

LOL, I love your comment that you won't even write a separate post for the "awful" recipe! I've never even tasted Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it must be good becuase everyone talks about it. I have my Pumpkin Spice on the counter and hope to try this soon.
