Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte

Perfectly spiced and sweetened, this homemade Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is made with real espresso (or strong coffee), pumpkin, sugar, and warm spices! Perfect for Fall and Winter, and way better than anything from the store! The pumpkin spice latte is a cult favorite at Starbucks and many other coffee shops, and for good reason… it’s delicious! Except those lattes tend to be full of TONS of sugar and who knows what else. This iced version uses real, everyday ingredients, and takes hardly any time at all to whip up. Just what you need when you’re craving a caffeinated taste of Fall! I prefer to make this iced latte with whole milk for extra creaminess, but in addition to being delicious, this recipe is really versatile. Any dairy or non-dairy milk will work as well!

Ingredients:
Pumpkin Spiced Latte:
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 cups whole milk or whichever milk you’d like (non-dairy included)
2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 – 2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup strongly brewed coffee preferably cooled to room temperature or chilled

To serve:
ice cubes
whipped cream
additional cinnamon for dusting

Instructions:
Make pumpkin spice mixture:
To a mixing bowl (one with a spout makes it easier to pour), add pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Whisk until very well combined. (Alternately you can add this mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.)

Make the latte:
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour half of the coffee in each glass. Pour half of the pumpkin spice mixture in each glass, then stir well to combine.

Serve:
If desired, top with whipped cream and a dusting of additional cinnamon, and serve.

Chef Tips:
Recipe makes enough for approximately 2 glasses (16 oz each) that have been filled with ice cubes.
