Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte #tastecreations

Welcome to the month of pumpkins! Someday I want to grow my own pumpkin. Maybe that will be on my list for next year! For now, I want to share with you my delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I am not typically a coffee drinker. I really wanted to try the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and so I bought one. Blech. NOT for a non-coffee drinker. Even though I knew I didn't like them, I wanted to like them so much!

Ever had a feeling like that?

I analyzed what I didn't like about it. I love heavy cream, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice. That leaves the coffee. I thought a lot what I could do about the coffee flavor. I tried replacing it with chai tea. While that was delicious, it wasn't the taste I was looking for. I tried black tea, sassafras tea anything I could think of to replace the bitterness of the coffee. Then I had a great idea.

I would make weak coffee.

I took a pod of blonde roast coffee and made it with 12 oz of hot water. I added my ingredients and blended them together and yes mam! there it was! The Pumpkin Spice Latte that even a coffee hater would love. Give it a try!

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

1 pod Blonde Roast coffee, brewed with 12 oz.

2 T pumpkin puree

1 T pumpkin pie spice

2 T heavy cream

1 T butter

Place all ingredients into blender. Blend at high speed until foamy. Pour into a 20oz cup or container. Foam will increase the volume. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.

You may be tempted to leave out the butter. DON'T. The butter adds a richness to the drink that is important with the pumpkin. Trust. me.
