I think we can all agree that Pumpkin Spice Latte season is awesome.

Even if you’re not a PSL fan, odds are you like at least one of Starbucks’ holiday drinks and rejoice at the sight of those red cups come November!

Unfortunately, there’s a downside to these drinks: their ingredients. Conventional dairy products plus unnatural colors and flavors make the traditional Starbucks drinks a lot less appealing.

Luckily, they’re super easy to mimic at home – without any fancy equipment. And when you use organic milk, real pumpkin and warm holiday spices, you can enjoy a delicious pumpkin spice latte without hesitation or guilt.

Here’s my recipe. Happy sipping!

Ingredients

• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
• ½ cup organic whole or 2% milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

1. Whisk together the pumpkin, spices, vanilla, sugar and milk in a large mug. Heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until very warm.

3. Pour the coffee into the mug and stir to combine.
4. Enjoy!
