The Best Pumpkin Spice Latte {No Espresso Machine Needed!}

9/1/2015

It's here! Did you notice? Look: SEPTEMBER 1st!!

I have been waiting for this day for a while. Why? Because this is THE day to start making all things pumpkin. I could hardly make myself wait, but it doesn't seem quite right to start celebrating fall in August. It took me several days to decide what the perfect thing would be to make on this wonderful day. 

And then I remembered my recipe for Pumpkin Spice Lattes. And that was that. I knew what I was making. :)

I got this recipe from a friend in Asia before I was married and made it many times for friends and family.

In fact, as I was making it today I got this strange sense of dejavu. 

It is almost exactly 5 years ago that this good looking guy started coming around and hanging out with our youth group on a few weekends. My family had the youth group over one evening and I made Pumpkin Spice Lattes and there was quite a little flutter in my stomach as I served Mr. Handsome. I was starting to think I could just maybe fall for him. ;)

5 years later and I still had that little flutter in my stomach when I made him a Latte this afternoon. Doesn't God just write the best love stories?

Now, without further ado, here is the recipe:
Pumpkin Spice Latte


1 cup Milk
1 T. Pumpkin
2 T. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon


Warm together in a small kettle.


1/2 cup Strong Coffee
1/2 tsp. Vanilla


Mix it all together and blend in a blender for about 30 seconds.
I like to make my coffee in a French Press, but any coffee maker will work. I always add a little, tiny shake of salt to my coffee grounds before I make it. It just takes off the bitter edge. Make sure you don't skip the blender step. It blends the pumpkin in nicely and it give the latte a nice, authentic froth on the top.

The recipe makes 2 cups - perfect, because coffee is made to be shared, right? If you don't have someone to share with at the moment it also blends well with a little journaling on a cool, windy day.

Some of my favorite variations are:

Substitute the sugar with white chocolate for a White Chocolate Pumpkin Latte

Substitute the sugar with maple syrup for a Maple Pumpkin Latte.

Whipped Topping on top with a sprinkle of Nutmeg {I kinda have a crush on nutmeg in the fall} :)

So yummy!!

I hope you all have a lovely day! May the Joy of the Lord be your Strength this week.
