Well, no more Starbucks necessary for the Pumpkin Spice Latte once you have this recipe!
If you are like me and love the Pumpkin Spice Latte this can save you a ton of money, because now you can make it at home!
Anyway here is the recipe:
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.)
For Iced: Brew your coffee or espresso and let it sit out for a few minutes until it reaches room temperature. You could also put it in the fridge or freezer to speed up the cooling process.
In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on low heat, stirring, just until the sugar and pumpkin are desolved. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it – just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
Pour into a cup filled with ice. Add the espresso or coffee on top.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
For Hot: In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it – just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
Pour into a large mug or two mugs. Add the hot espresso or coffee on top.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
Enjoy! [:)]
