So I have to confess something: I don’t drink coffee. I know, I know — how can I write about something I don’t drink? When I was first asked to come up with a CBD pumpkin spice latte recipe, I was stumped.
I never understood what all the latte fuss was about. I thought all lattes were just coffee pumped with sugar syrups. Then I started my research on pumpkin spice lattes for this recipe.
I was side-swiped; that heavenly, spiced silkiness that comes from that first bite of whipped-cream-topped pumpkin pie at the start of the holidays and the happy smile from that once-yearly pumpkin blizzard could be put into a coffee. Now I get it. I’m a believer; it’s absolutely delicious!
