Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

I recently made a comment on facebook about how much I'm enjoying (or maybe addicted to) my homemade pumpkin spice lattes. They are the perfect treat when I have some leftover pumpkin from baking pumpkin goodies ... which is conveniently something I've been doing a lot of recently! Needless to say, there have been many requests for my recipe ... so here it is!

Pumpkin Spice Latte
~1 1/2 c. milk and 1 T. instant coffee OR
1 c. milk and 1/2 c. strong brewed coffee
~3 T. pumpkin puree
~1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
~1/2 tsp. cinnamon
~1 tsp. vanilla
~2 T. sugar

Put all ingredients in blender ... if you have a vitamix (or other high powered blender), allow to blend for 5-6 minutes until it's good and hot.


If making in a regular blender, transfer to a stovetop pan and simmer until it reaches desired temperature.

Pour into mug (or in my case my contigo mug - I like my drinks to stay hot!) and enjoy saving yourself some money ...


Better yet, have some TJ's Candy Cane Joe-Joe's with your latte ...


Now just find yourself a cute baby to snuggle with ...


The end.
