Pumpkin Spice Latte

I love coffee! I REALLY love specialty coffees. I don't hit Starbucks nearly as often as I would like to, which is probably for the best since a drink there is nearly a small fortune. As I was spending much too much time on Pinterest I came across this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Lattes that were supposed to taste just like the ones Starbucks makes! Yay! And luckily for me I had everything I needed to make them! It was absolutely delicious! So I must share this with any other coffee lovers out there!



  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 Tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 Tbsp white sugar
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup strong coffee
  • whipped cream
Add first 5 ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring almost to a boil. Remove from heat, add to blender. Blend on high til milk begins to froth, about 2 minutes. Divide milk between 2 mugs. Add the coffee slowly down the side so as not to disturb the frothiness. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!!

*For me, this recipe was enough for 3 mugs. I guess if you have really big mugs you might just get 2!
*If I am just enjoying this drink by myself I skip the blender part. It tastes the same and I really don't enjoy the dishes. When I am having company I will do the extra step just for flare ;)
* You can also mix the milk mixture and keep it in your fridge until you are ready to indulge in another cup. I have some in my fridge at this very moment!
