So I've been reading around the blog world about making your own pumpkin spice lattes at home.
I am willing to give anything a shot so off I trotted to the store and bought myself some pumpkin pie filling to experiment with.
I am also one who doesn't follow recipes very well, so I read half a dozen different recipes and then created my own from bits and pieces of what I had read.
I have one of those great tupperware shaker things
and into it I poured
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
about 1/2 C of pumpkin pie filling
2 tsp of vanilla
and I filled the rest of it with milk
Shake it all up and VOILA, ymmmmy pumpkin latte creamer.
I read a few recipes that added extra spices to it- nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon so I tried that too, but hated it, and ended up scraping the spices off the top to get rid of it.
One cup I had, I did about 3/4 coffee and 1/4 latte creamer and it was yummy. The next cup I used the latte creamer like I would normlly use creamer (a tablespoon or two) and it was also yummy.
These are my pumpkin spice latte cups... come on over for a taste! |
These are a couple of the recipes I read ....
