I don’t know where you are…but here in the NorthEast it has been raining ALL DAY LONG! I gotta admit..I love it! It’s the perfect day for a Pumpkin Spice Latte..and since I don’t feel like leaving the house, I was happy to find this recipe at Recipe Zaar. It is awesome! I used Starbucks Espresso (obviously) Indulgence. Enjoy!
| 1 |
tablespoon pumpkin puree |
| 1 |
cup milk |
| 1/2 |
tablespoon light brown sugar (packed and leveled) |
| 1/4 |
teaspoon cinnamon |
| 1/8 |
teaspoon nutmeg |
| 1/8 |
teaspoon ground cloves |
| 1/2 |
teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
| 2 |
cups strong coffee (brewed using 2 tbs per 1 cup of water) |
| 4 |
tablespoons Coffee-mate |
| 4-8 |
teaspoons granulated sugar |
| |
whipped cream |
- In a blender puree the milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar and vanilla.
- Pour into a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the milk is warm and begins to froth slightly. (About 4-5 minutes.) Remove from heat.
- For each serving:
- Pour 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into your coffee mug.
- Add 2 generous tablespoons of Coffeemate creamer.
- Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of brewed coffee.
- Add 2 to 4 teaspoons of sugar (depending on how sweet you like your drink, I added 3 tsps.).
- Top off with a touch more ‘pumpkin milk’ then cover with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Serve immediately.
