The Kitchn: How to make your own pumpkin spice latte (even better than Starbucks')
A few weeks ago Starbucks brought back the rock star of latte, the queen of froth, the national obsession: the Pumpkin Spice Latte. If you've lined up for a "PSL" or three already, you're not alone. Starbucks has sold hundreds of millions of them over the last decade.
If you've ever asked yourself what a PSL would taste like with actual pumpkin in it -- that's right; the Starbucks latte, not to mention most other things containing "pumpkin spice," doesn't actually contain any pumpkin -- wonder no more. Make your own spicy, frothy pumpkin spice latte at home. It's so easy, and you'll have enough to share with someone you truly love. Don't skip the whip.
What's more, it's cheaper than those coffee shop drinks, it's available all year long and you can tweak the ingredients to your heart's content. Especially if you like extra whipped cream. We won't tell.
