I love the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks.

This recipe I make is even better, especially if you like the taste of pumpkin!

You can do it 2 different ways. 

One way using pumpkin spice syrup and the other doing it straight up.

 

If you don't drink coffee, just don't add it! 

You can have it just as a pumpkin drink. It's actually pretty awesome too.

You can have it cold too,  but you have to make it on the stove first and then let it cool down.

Here on the blog,  you can get the recipes for the pumpkin spice and the pumpkin spice syrup.

Just click on the images below.

 

Makes latte for one person

• 1 cup whole milk     

• 1 oz brewed Espresso

• 3 Tbsp Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup (or more if you want)     

• 1/2 cup whipped cream     

• 1 pinch pumpkin pie spice or brown sugar (garnish)

Instructions 

Brew the coffee. 

Heat and froth milk. 

Place Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup into a mug, followed by hot espresso. Stir together. 

Fill mug with heated frothed milk until ¾ full, then top with whipped cream. 

Sprinkle with pumpkin spice or brown sugar!

You can use the pumpkin spice syrup for many things.

I mostly use it for making lattes, but you can put it on crepes, pastries, cakes, ice cream, etc.

 

You will need to have the pumpkin spice mix, 

and in case you need to make it from scratch, 

you can get the recipe here on the blog.

• 1½ cups sugar    

• 1½ cups water     

• 2 to 3 tsp of pumpkin spice (try and then add more if needed)     

• 4 Tbsp pumpkin purée 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

 

Combine sugar and water in saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Once sugar is dissolved, add the spice and pumpkin purée, and let simmer for 10.

Remove from heat and immediately strain through cheesecloth.

If you don't want to strain it, you can use a mixer or the blender while it is still hot. It will be a little thick but it will be just fine (I usually do it that way).

Makes enough syrup for 8 beverages. 

Keeps up to 7 days in the fridge.
