My DIY At Home Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

I was never a pumpkin spice latte girl until I had a homemade version at a friend's house last year. It was so delicious, I was inspired to make my own recipe up at home. Save yourself some money and time and try this recipe at home. I guarantee that you'll find it totally tasty.

Confession - this recipe is really easy. It took some time for me to break this down into enough material for it to seem like a real recipe. Go home and make it now.

What you need for 2 servings:

• Single serving of coffee (I use the medium size on a Keurig)
• 1/4 t McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1/4 t Vanilla Extract
• Milk (about 3oz)
• Sugar to Taste

What to do

1. When brewing your coffee, add a 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to your favorite coffee grounds before brewing. Make sure you mix the spice around before brewing. Of course, you can also juse use Pumpkin Spice K-Cups to begin with.
2.  I drink my coffee as cafe au lait, and have a 50/50 ratio of milk to coffee, usually. You can add yours to taste, if you prefer. While your coffee is brewing, mix together 1/4 tsp of Vanilla with 6oz of milk.You can heat this up over the stove or in the microwave and then use a milk frother if you have one. If you're using the microwave, just pop it in there for a minute or so.
3. Once your milk is heated and your coffee is brewed, mix them together at a 50/50 ratio. 
4. Add sugar to taste, and finish with a dash of pumpkin pie spice across the top. 

It is seriously good. You can always increase the amount of spice or vanilla in your coffee. Another option is adding a bit of Nestle Coffee-mate Pumpkin Spice Non-Dairy Creamer. I'll be honest, I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard other bloggers talk about how amazing it is. I'll have to remember to swing by Wegemans this week and see if I can find it.

I like to make this with decaf coffee and enjoy a cup before bed at night.

Also, I need some beignets, ASAP
