Pumpkin Spice Latte
Pumpkin Spice Latte
2 cups of milk
2 tbs canned pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)
2 tbs white sugar
2 tbs vanilla (not a typo, you really use that much)
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
(OR 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp cloves, teeny tiny pinch ground ginger)
1/2 cup brewed espresso or 3/4 strong brewed coffee
**use something like Folgers Dark Roast that they sell in the smaller cans, works much better then regular coffee
Add the coffee/espresso and milk to crockpot. Whisk in the pumpkin, spices, sugar, and vanilla.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours (if everything is cold.)
Whisk again.
Ladle into mugs and garnish with whip cream and additional cinnamon. Can add a cinnamon stick if ya want to get all fancy ;)
** Again, my own input - if you double or even quadruple the recipe, you can make enough to have one cup a morning for about a week ... if you can JUST have one cup! Also, cooking it on high for two hours is what the directions say, but when we first made it we just brought it all to a boil on the stove top and drank it right away - still just as yummy!! We had no patience to wait!!
