Pumpkin spice latte

 

If you get into a frenzy every fall over the pumpkin spice latte, you’ve no doubt questioned how much of your holiday budget goes to that coffee place.

Since it’s not exactly a mom-and-pop joint, we don’t feel too bad luring some of their customers away to try this delicious, satisfying, and affordable homemade version. The best reason to make your own (besides being able to pay your rent) is you can control all your ingredients and truly tailor the beverage to make your own special blend.

Milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, spices, vanilla, and espresso can all be adjusted according to your preferences and whipped cream can be added if you’re anticipating a rough morning. This recipe can also be made lovingly on the stovetop or simply in the microwave when time is of the essence.
