If anyone is like me, I am now addicted to starbucks pumpkin spice latte. It is so yummy and gives me that taste of fall in my mouth. Since I can't afford a daily trip to starbucks I started looking around for a copycat recipe. This one is delicious and the only difference is I put the spices in the blender and then dust the top with the spices when I put it in the cup and I do not have the syrup on hand so I leave that part out and add splenda....so yummy! I found this recipe on coffesage.com



Pumpkin Spice Latte ( compare to Starbucks )
Note: if you are using the pumpkin spice syrup, you do not need the canned pumpkin
Ingredients:
1-2 shots espresso (1/4 C. espresso or 1/2 C. strong brewed coffee)
1 c. half and half
1 tb. canned pumpkin :: you may use either whole pumpkin or pie mix
1 tsp. Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup
Optional pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
Directions:
(no espresso machine?)

Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee from Honey Bean Coffee makes a great base, and it’s great all by itself.
To make a pumpkin latte in your home: In a small saucepan, stir pumpkin puree into half and half. Add the syrup. Heat on medium until steaming, stirring constantly. You do not want the milk to burn.
In a blender on high speed, use whip setting for 20 seconds until foaming. Pour the mixture into a tall glass and pour coffee over the top. Dust with ground pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg.
