RECIPE BOX | SPICED PUMPKIN LATTE


as soon as september rolls around i'm craving all things autumn
(not unlike many of you i'm sure), and the first thing that pops into my mind every year is pumpkin!
adding pumpkin flavor to anything makes it instantly perfect for fall!
i found a pumpkin spice latte recipe online, and tweaked it to my liking!
i hope you enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte

2 cups milk (can use any % or even almond/soy milk)

4 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons white sugar (or sugar substitute)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup strong coffee
whipped cream

Directions:

1.  To make pumpkin milk, stir together milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2.5 minutes. Be sure to stir every minute or so.

2. Pour pumpkin milk into blender, and blend for 20 seconds or until milk begins to froth.

3. Fill two coffee mugs half full of coffee. Fill the rest of the cup with pumpkin milk mixture. (Depending on size of your coffee mugs, you may have extra pumpkin milk. You can store it in the fridge for later --- or just have seconds!) If you want to stir the latte together, you can, but it may disrupt the froth on top.

4. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with your choice of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon! Both are tasty!
