Fall is my favorite time of year, and nothing says fall like pumpkin spice latte. Buying one at a coffee shop can get expensive, and make a special trip for a latte is not convenient.
Therefore I decided to learn how to make pumpkin lattes at home. It is like a pumpkin cappuccino with whipped cream. This delicious creamy spiced pumpkin coffee drink is so easy to make at home. I enjoy all the coffee drinks, but this one is my favorite seasonal flavor.

Top with whipped cream, then garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

Ok I’m totally trying this tomorrow! I ordered pumpkin spice syrup for this purpose, but it’s not very good and too sweet.
You are going to enjoy making your own latte from scratch you can make it anyway you like.
Have a great weekend,
