Today, in honor of Autumn, I made myself my first ever home-made pumpkin spice latte. Starbucks has NOTHING on this delicious drink!
Here, indulge yourself:
1 cup milk
1 tbs. pumpkin puree
1 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
heat and stir together, not to boil (i just use my steamer on my espresso machine)
Layer your cup like this:
2 oz espresso (or brewed rich coffee)
milk/pumpkin mixture
foam/whipped cream
spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc...)
If you're not into coffee, you can definitely leave it out (and then check yourself into a mental institution!!!), in which case this would simply be a "steamer" instead of a "latte". Or you could double the recipe and use it like a creamer in your morning coffee instead. Enjoy.
By the way, my momma has been visiting so that is why I neglected you for so long. I have a lot to share with you, so stay posted!

Dude. Awesome. Can't wait to try it. Maybe tomorrow morning.
I'm trying this on Shocks tonight! She said if it were up to her she'd just go to Starbucks but I'm going to consider it a labor of love and make it from scratch just for her. Mmmm. I'll let you know how it turns out.
