Sorry Starbucks, but your pumpkin spice latte is too sweet for this girl.
I'm a sucker for pumpkin and spicy this time of year. {Remember this
spiced pumpkin dip?} But I can't deal with going to Starbucks and paying $4.75 for a latte, especially when I only ask for a half pump of the syrup!
Today is just the day to enjoy a latte of this caliber. I had an intense massage this morning, and they basically told me I need to stop working at the computer so much because my neck is bad, like really bad. Of course I know that, but oh the sound effects of pops and cracks were pretty crazy.
I hope you enjoy this pumpkin spice syrup recipe. I think we just may drizzle this over
pumpkin pancakes tomorrow morn'.
Pumpkin Spice Syrup
makes 1/2 cup
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tablespoon canned pumpkin
Heat all ingredients over medium heat for 4-5 minutes and sugar is completely dissolved. Don't boil. Strain the syrup, through a fine mesh sieve. Enjoy!
I make my lattes with a
Nespresso, you can't go wrong with this machine (this was my #1 must have wedding gift!!).. Also, if you live in Orlando, Crate & Barrel at Millennia has this machine for a steal ($150), I was in the store a few hours ago. Go get it! :)
