On Sunday I got up and had my coffee, but when I was finished I was craving something else, something fall-ish. So, instead of driving to Starbucks for one of their pumpkin spice lattes, I decided to make them come to me. This recipe allows you to recreate the favorite drink at home. It's a little less sweet, which I like, but you can add sugar.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk
1/2 cup of coffee {i used Green Mountain's pumpkin spice, to add even more pumpkin flavoring, but you can use regular}
cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice for sprinkling over the top
1/2 cup of coffee {i used Green Mountain's pumpkin spice, to add even more pumpkin flavoring, but you can use regular}
cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice for sprinkling over the top
1. In a saucepan, heat milk and pumpkin until steaming, or mix the milk and pumpkin in a 2 cup measuring cup and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.2. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon.
3. Pour the milk mixture in a blender, and blend 20 seconds until it's frothy and foamy.
4. Pour into a mug, then add coffee.
5. Add sugar to taste, if you like.
