Make Your Own Pumpkin Spice Latte

It’s almost fall, which basically means that it’s PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON!

Every food and drink company want to cash in on the belief that if they make it, you’ll buy it because it’s Fall. Bikini season is over so we might as well start carb-loading until Boxing Day.

 

All the whipped cream

 

While the most famous Pumpkin Spice hot drink is from Starbucks, wouldn’t it be nice if you could make it in the comfort of your own home?

    Ooh – I’ve been looking at making some of my favourites at home, since I so rarely get to go to Starbucks. I will have to add this recipe to the list! Thank you! 🙂

      That’s great! The home-whipped cream really makes it taste luxurious. If you don’t like coffee, a hot chocolate with the Pumpkin Spice and whipped cream is really good too.

    I love PSLs, but as much as I love them, it’s hard to shell out $5 every time I’m craving one! This looks like a great solution – definitely giving it a try! Thanks!
