Pumpkin Spice Latte

[SophRichRel]

This isn't my recipe. I was just signing in on my WordPress and this site/blog was one of the features in front. I figured since the Holidays are coming up this would be perfect to share on my site/blog and here on CafeMom since I noticed a lot of moms here have the Latte application.

So here it is and let me give you the link to this person's site/blog for credit:

TaraSG's - 101Mission * 101 Goals in 1001 Days

Makes 1-2 Servings

*Additional suggestions on bottom from comments left on TaraSG's page.

2 cups milk (used skim milk)

2 tablespoons canned pumpkin (we used more than called for – around 3 tablespoons)

2 tablespoons sugar (you can half this amount – we didn’t)

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice

1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine) (used Starbucks bold espresso beans)

1. In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin, and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring until steaming.

2. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice.

3. Transfer to a blender and process (we used a submersion blender in the pan) and process for 15 seconds until foamy. (If you don’t have a blender just use a whisk!).

4. Pour into a large mug (or two mugs) and add the espresso.

5. Optional Top with whipped cream and pumpkin spice.

*add vanilla vodka, or kahlua, or irish creme

Hi, thanks for the post - that sounds yummy.   Maybe with rum, too?
