I was recently introduced to pumpkin spice latte’s (I know they’ve been around forever but…) and they’re pretty darn good! But… They’re
pretty
PSL

directions
- Heat everything in a large sauce pan until the milk starts to froth up but before it boils.

Oh. Em. Gee. Know what I am making tomorrow morning.
What kind of milk was used? Skim, low fat, whole? Makes quite a difference in calorie count!
Anonymous: I used regular milk for the nutrition facts values but you could use skim milk or even a low calorie alternative like almond milk or coconut milk.
Does the pumpkin thin out while it's boiling or do you strain it? Seems like with the purée this would turn into more of a pumpkin coffee smoothie and less of a latte
Our friends own a local coffee shop and spent a lot of time coming up with just the perfect recipe using real organic pumpkin and their single origin espressos–I can't even drink the "mermaid" PSLs anymore (yuck)! Thanks for this–definitely cheaper, and handy for days I don't want to get out.
Mr. Fish and Taxes: You can strain it if you want. I find that canned pumpkin puree becomes pretty smooth when mixed in with the milk and coffee and if I'm using homemade pumpkin puree I puree the pumpkin in a blender first.
