Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Copycat
5 ingredients can make this lovely seasonal latte at home!
**NEW PIC TO COME**
My first Starbucks PSL was this homemade one. We didn't really have a Starbucks nearby at the time that I posted this recipe. New York had tons of Dunkin' Donuts and we even had a Seattle's Best Coffee in the Borders bookstore before it closed down. I really loved making this into a frappuccino too, which is honestly my favorite way to enjoy a PSL.
What you need:
3 Tbsp. canned pumpkin
2 Tbsp. vanilla-flavored syrup
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 cup milk
1 (3 oz.) espresso (1 to 2 shots)
Directions:
In a small saucepan, stir pumpkin puree into milk. Add vanilla syrup and pumpkin pie spice.
Heat gently; continuing to stir occasionally, just until steamy and foam begins to appear.
Pour pumpkin flavored milk into a tall mug...
..and pour espresso over top.
Top with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice. Note: if you like it slightly sweeter, add a bit of vanilla flavored coffee creamer.
**To make into a frappuccino: Combine equal parts of this recipe and ice in a blender and blend on high until smooth. And top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice :]
