Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Copycat

5 ingredients can make this lovely seasonal latte at home!

My first Starbucks PSL was this homemade one. We didn't really have a Starbucks nearby at the time that I posted this recipe. New York had tons of Dunkin' Donuts and we even had a Seattle's Best Coffee in the Borders bookstore before it closed down. I really loved making this into a frappuccino too, which is honestly my favorite way to enjoy a PSL.

What you need:

  • 3 Tbsp. canned pumpkin

  • 2 Tbsp. vanilla-flavored syrup

  • 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 (3 oz.) espresso (1 to 2 shots)

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan, stir pumpkin puree into milk. Add vanilla syrup and pumpkin pie spice.

  2. Heat gently; continuing to stir occasionally, just until steamy and foam begins to appear.

  3. Pour  pumpkin flavored milk into a tall mug...

  4. ..and pour espresso over top.

  5. Top with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice. Note: if you like it slightly sweeter, add a bit of vanilla flavored coffee creamer.

**To make into a frappuccino: Combine equal parts of this recipe and ice in a blender and blend on high until smooth. And top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice :]
