While on the way home I saw the sign saying that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks, this brought on a feeling of disappointment since that is my favorite drink, and this is the first year I cannot have one due to EBF C who is HIGHLY allergic to cane sugar and dairy. So I took things into my own hands, making a perfect pumpkin spice latte at home, that is much healthier than Starbucks and tastes amazingly similar!
Ingredients
- espresso or coffee
- non-dairy milk (I use unsweetened rice, lighter taste)
- 1 tsp organic pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp hazelnut agave
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Fill your mug half with hot coffee and half with hot milk, slowly stir in pumpkin puree. When pumpkin is dissolved add agave, nutmeg and cinnamon.
I hope this makes your morning as wonderful as it did mine! I can only hope that my hubby stays this nice, warm and cozy while he is up there in Alaska *working*. Hehehe
I want this. NOW. And it's midnight... :)
ReplyDeleteomg, that sounds soooo good! We live about a 40minute drive from the nearest starbucks, so i'll definitely be trying this! i wonder what to use instead of the hazelnut agave?
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I drink tea every day, but I would definitely make this as a special treat!
ReplyDeleteThe hazelnut agave was used to sweeten it, I like my coffee on the sweeter side, you could omit it, or try a sweetener of your choice I bet it would turn out pretty good!
