pumpkin spice latte

category: drinks

I personally am not a coffee drinker, but there’s something about pumpkin spice lattes that I can’t pass up. They really are more of an American delicacy, so if I happen to be in the USA over fall time, I will definitely grab one. So I tried to make my own version at home.

I like my pumpkin spice lattes to be almost like a sweet pumpkin soup. A strong pumpkin flavour, sweetened with the richness of maple syrup and spiced up with cinnamon and ginger. All topped with a squirt of whipped cream. Is there anything more autumnally decadent?!
