10 Minute Pumpkin Spice Latte
This 10 Minute Pumpkin Spice Latte came to be when I realized that I have become the number 1 customer in one of the Starbucks stall in our area, and I am always few minutes late at work, due to waiting in line for my pumpkin spiced latte. Then let’s not talk about that $ 5.00 expense I incurred daily. It can accumulate in a month, and it’s painful in my budget.
So I made my own pumpkin spice latte inspired by Inspired Taste YUP, the DIY type. Sure, it’s not at par to Starbucks latte because I now customized the taste and sweetness according to my liking. This latte is not sweet and I love the texture because I just put enough pumpkin as I want to.
I enjoy this recipe so much, that I often make for breakfast with my croffles (recipe coming soon) . It is refreshing and the calming smell of the homemade pumpkin spice just makes me relax and calms me down as I prepare for the long day ahead. Sometimes I make an extra batch and put it in the fridge, so that when I come home, I have cold latte ready for me to drink.
This recipe yields a fantastic drink.
