It’s fall, which means it’s the season of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. There’s nothing quite like a PSL—warm, soothing and flavorful. Make your own to save cash and calories. It’s super speedy, simple and scrumptious.
- Prep time
- Total Time
- • ¾ cup milk (any type, dairy or non-dairy)
- • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- • 2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend*
- • ¼ cup coffee
* You can make your own pumpkin pie spice blend by mixing:
- • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
In a small saucepan, add the milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla and spice blend and warm over low-medium heat (if using dairy milk, only let the milk simmer with gentle bubbles. If the flame is too high, it will curdle). Occasionally mix to ensure everything blends together. Pour into glass, mix in ¼ cup hot brewed coffee (or 1 ounce brewed espresso) and top with a squirt of optional whipped cream and sprinkle of additional pumpkin spice.
*Alternatively, you can heat and blend the milk mixture (with pumpkin, maple, vanilla and spice) in the microwave, stopping and stirring in 30- to 45-second increments (it’ll take 1 to 2 minutes to get it nice and hot).
