Pumpkin Spice Latte

Fall is officially here! It is, without a doubt my favorite season and time of year! The leaves are changing colors, football is back, thanksgiving is coming up and Halloween is just around the corner! So what better way to kick this season off than with a yummy latte, featuring Autumns most popular fruit- pumpkin! It's so easy to make and the pumpkin makes this drink so good!

Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 2 TBSP canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 TSP vanilla extract
- 1/2 TSP Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 TSP instant coffee/shot of espresso
- whipped cream/cool whip
- 1-2 TSP sugar (depending how sweet you like it)

Directions
- in a small sauce pan gently heat pumpkin, vanilla, sugar and spices, stirring occasionally. Heat for 2-3 Minutes.
- Pour milk in and mix until milk is fully combined with pumpkin mixture. Bring to a boil.
- Have espresso shot or instant coffee ready in a mug. Strain milk with a sieve straight into the mug and stir.
- Top with whipped cream and cinnamon.


Serving suggestions
- This makes a great cold drink. Follow all the steps and cool latte slightly and pour over ice!

Substitutions
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice use:
- 1/2 TSP ground cinnamon
- pinch of ginger
- pinch of nutmeg
