There are few things lazier than I am in the mornings. I adore sipping on a sweet latte, but the thought of getting dressed to drive to the Starbuck’s seems like too much work. Even throwing on sweats to hit the drive-through is abhorrent in the morning.
Making an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte at home is the perfect solution. Plus, I can tailor the recipe to suit my mood or taste. And it takes about 5 minutes…and I can keep on my PJs.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED?
- Strong coffee – use whatever you like, but keep in mind that ice will be added to thicken the latte, so be sure that the coffee is strong enough to stand up against the added ice.
- Pumpkin puree – not pie mix
- Milk – any milk will work. I’ve used everything from heavy cream to almond milk.
- Maple syrup – for flavor and sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, honey, or simple syrup.
- Pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla
- Brown sugar – you could also use granulated sugar or your favorite artificial sweetener
An Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes even better during a lazy Sunday brunch. I like to serve Candied Bourbon Bacon, Decadent Southern-style Cheese Grits, French-style Scrambled Eggs, and Pumpkin Spice Donuts With Apple Cider Glaze.
