Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

The fall season brings on the craze for pumpkin everything and so many people look forward to the Starbucks Fall Inspired Beverages. I used to work in Starbucks in college, so I know all too well how highly anticipated the new fall menus are!

The problem with the Starbucks coffees are that they tend to be very sugary and they’re not made from the best ingredients—even with the recent addition of coconut milk you’re better off avoiding the notorious latte .

Here’s a link to a controversial article on one woman’s research into what’s really in a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (hint: it ain’t pumpkin!).

With respect to that article, take it or leave it. But if you’re like me, you’d just rather make treats like this at home so you know what’s in it.

Since I’m not a huge fan of the caffeine jolt, I prefer to use a coffee-like tea called Teecino that I LOVE! (You can easily make this with coffee though and I’ll tell you how below).

The one that I chose was the Organic French Roast and it turned out beautifully! If you have a hard time going without your sugary coffee drinks in the morning, try this recipe and let me know how you like it. 🙂
