Instead of heading to the closest Starbucks for an expensive Pumpkin Spice Latte, try making your own. This delicious and money-saving homemade recipe will knock your

taste buds off, and you'll never feel tempted to head to a coffee shop to spend money on a coffee beverage that's much better when you make it yourself.

Ingredients, Tools & Supplies

• 2 cups of milk
• 2 shots of espresso or 8 ounces of freshly brewed coffee
• 2 TBSP of canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ½ TSP of pumpkin pie spice
• 1 TBSP of pure maple syrup
• 1 TBSP of pure vanilla extract
• Small to medium size saucepan
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk Espresso maker or coffee maker
• Blender or immersion blender
• Two coffee mugs

Instructions

Set up your coffee making supplies, but don’t start brewing or making it. Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice mix, maple syrup and vanilla extract in the saucepan and cook over medium heat while stirring it constantly. Allow it to cook until you see steam coming off the surface of the mixture. Remove it from the heat. Start brewing the coffee. If you have an immersion blender, you can leave the pumpkin/milk mixture in the pan. Otherwise, carefully pour it into a blender and blend until everything looks frothy. Pour half of the brewed coffee or espresso into each cup and divide the blended pumpkin mixture equally between each mug. Lightly sprinkle the top of the froth with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
