It is the time of year that Starbucks has Pumpkin Spice Lattes on the menu. It is my favorite drink and I was treating myself to them a bit more than I should, so I had to find an alternative. I did make a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latte using canned pumpkin, which was delicious, but this is so much easier for my morning coffee during the week. You can just make it in advance and store it in a bottle to add to your coffee!

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp of cloves or allspice
1 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
I used 1 tablespoon of homemade pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
Directions:
Add water and sugar to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn heat down, add all spices, and simmer for several minutes; cool. Add 1 tbsp vanilla extract. Store in an airtight container, away from sunlight.
To make a pumpkin spice latte, if you have an espresso maker, add one shot of espresso and one shot of the pumpkin spice syrup to steamed milk. Top with whipped cream and crushed biscotti if you're feeling decadent.
If you do not have an espresso maker, you can still enjoy this Autumn treat! Add a shot of the syrup and 1/4 cup of steamed milk (or milk alternative) to your favorite morning cup of coffee. Sip, smile and repeat.
