The funny thing about Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte is that it doesn't have pumpkin in it. Starbucks website lists the ingredients as "Espresso, pumpkin-flavored syrup and steamed milk." Starbucks sells pumpkin flavored syrup... that doesn't contain pumpkin, but does have High Fructose Corn Syrup. Thanks, but no thanks.
I am too cheap to buy "pumpkin flavored syrup" and way too cheap to spend $3+ for a drink. Also, the closes Starbucks to me is 1 1/2 hours away, so screw you Starbucks. I will make my own version and there will be real pumpkin in it!
I use an AeroPress or a Keurig to brew coffee, so I brew one cup at a time. If you use a pot, just add the ingredients to a cup of already brewed coffee.
For pumpkin spiced coffee:
1 cup brewed coffee
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon Pumpkin puree
1 -1 /2 Tablespoons brown sugar (You can substitute your sweetener of choice)
Mix all ingredients and enjoy.
For Pumpkin Spice Latte:
1 recipe Pumpkin Spiced Coffee
1 cup of your favorite milk (moo cow milk, soy, rice, almond... they all work)
Whipped cream (optional)
Pumpkin Pie Spice (for garnish)
Pour in to your favorite mug and enjoy.
