Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL, obvs…)
We’re well into September, which of course means it’s fair game to pumpkin all the things.
I think it goes without saying that the most popular/well know pumpkin “thing” is the oh-so-polarizing Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. Oh my goodness, people either love to love the PSL or love to hate it, am I right?!
Food Network Magazine originally published an at-home PSL recipe in their October 2014 issue, but I have never been able to find that recipe on their website. They do have a pumpkin spice latte recipe on their website, but it’s different from the recipe that appeared in the magazine.
We are not coffee drinkers, so we just leave out the espresso and keep these as pumpkin spice steamed milk. My kids absolutely love this drink!
This recipe is not mine; it’s the recipe that appeared in Food Network Magazine, October 2014.
