Pumpkin Spice Latte

 This Pumpkin Spice Latte is a classic fall beverage that can be enjoyed both hot and cold!

This Pumpkin Spice Latte is a classic fall beverage that can be enjoyed both hot and cold!

I love Starbucks, I do.  I just always find myself struggling to get the stroller and two babies through the door, usually while being stared at by other patrons.  This has forced me to get creative with re-creating my favourites.  The Pumpkin Spice Latte isn’t actually one of my favourites, I much prefer a Chai Tea Latte but I know many love this seasonal treat.

The benefit to making your own version of your favourite drinks is that you can use real ingredients and avoid loads of sugar, preservatives and artificial flavours plus my pumpkin latte uses real pumpkin.  (That makes it healthy, right?)

I don’t suggest actually serving this in mason jars. The glass really conducts the heat and I felt like I was touching the sun after filling these up!  I just wanted to show the finished colour of the latte rather than taking a picture of whipped cream in a mug. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ingredients:

2 tbsp pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves (Mace or All-Spice are good substitutions)
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
2 cups milk (Homo works best but unless you have toddlers around, go with what you have!)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup hot brewed coffee or 1/4 Cup brewed Espresso

 

 Directions:

 In a medium saucepan, heat the pumpkin and spices over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

 Add Milk, Sugar and vanilla to the saucepan, and heat until hot being careful not to bring it to a boil.

Put the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth and slightly frothy then add the coffee and blend until just combined.

Pour into two large mugs and top with whipped cream and a mixture of nutmeg, ginger, cloves and cinnamon if desired.

 

*Note:  Chill the Pumpkin Spice Latte and serve over ice for a cold version.

    There are so many PSL versions floating around! I think I need to try one!! The nice thing about making it at home is the amount of sugar!! My favourite was the new latte for Chinese New Year, Peach Blossum?! Oh, my! It was soooo good!!!

      Decaf coffee would work…other than that I am not sure what you would replace the coffee or espresso with.

        At starbucks, I order a pumpkin spiced chai tea. It is delish! I do like the regular latte as well, but this tends to be my favorite. Sometimes, it does tend to be a little overly spiced as the chai is already spiced as well as the pumpkin sauce. I just add a little milk and it is perfect. I hope this helps for the non-coffee drinkers πŸ™‚

    By far my favorite fall drink – I dont tend to buy them too often from the coffee shops as they are pricy; so I really like the idea of making my own at home πŸ™‚ Yum!

    I LOVE Starbucks’ PSL! However, over the years, many people have been saying that their PSL’s are super unhealthy, so it’s great that we can make our own and know exactly what goes into each cup! So, thanks for sharing!! I can’t wait to try this recipe myself!

    I love anything pumpkin… I would substitute chicory or Postum for the coffee — caffeine gives me the jitters. πŸ˜‰ This looks absolutely delicious. I can’t wait for the cool fall days to come so I can sip this slowly and read a good book! Thanks for sharing!
