How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte
A do-it-yourself version of the coffee shop's famous fall coffee drink!
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk (nonfat, whole, almond, soy, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 tablespoons half and half cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar
- whipped cream and nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- In a glass measuring cup or microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla and spice. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes- watch closely and remove it from the microwave when the milk is hot and frothy. (alternately, you can heat it on the stove)
- Pour the pumpkin milk into a tall mug or glass. Add hot coffee. Add the cream. Add a teaspoon of sugar. Stir, and taste. Add another teaspoon of sugar, if desired. Stir!
- Optional, but oh so good... add whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Nutritional information was figured using nonfat milk and NO whipped cream.
- If counting WW points, use nonfat milk, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons white sugar and 2 tablespoons regular half & half. Lighten it up more by using substitutes!
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice in your collection of spices, make your own! Mix equal parts of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg. Measure from there.
