I’m not a regular at the coffee shop. And it’s not that I don’t like what the baristas are concocting behind the counter. No, I’m actually quite fond of their beverages, both steaming hot and served over ice. It simply comes down to the dollar for me. I just can’t part with 4 or 5 bucks for a fancy coffee on a regular basis.
But this fall, I plan to indulge a bit more often in one of my favorite latte flavors, without even getting out of my pajamas in the morning. Because I have a simple and delicious recipe for a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. And what I think is really cool, is that the recipe makes enough spiced pumpkin mixture for a pumpkin spice latte every day for a week. No measuring individual ingredients every day. Just make up one big batch, and enjoy a hot and fresh cup of spiced fall goodness, with only the slightest bit of effort each morning. What a way to start the day!
Ingredients
- for the pumpkin spice mixture:
- 1 15- oz. can pumpkin puree
- 2 c. whole milk
- ½ c. sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ c. brown sugar
- 2 T. pure vanilla extract
- 1 T. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp. ground dried ginger
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- ¼ tsp. allspice
- to assemble the pumpkin spice latte:
- strong coffee
- slightly sweetened whipped cream
- cinnamon
- dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
to make the pumpkin spice mixture:
- In a blender, combine all the pumpkin spice mixture ingredients. Puree for about 30 seconds.
- If you want a smoother mixture, puree for a couple minutes, or until the mixture is to your desired consistency.
to assemble the pumpkin spice latte:
- Pour 1/2 cup (more or less, depending on your preference) of the pumpkin spice mixture into a large mug. Microwave for about 20 seconds, then add 1 cup of hot strong brewed coffee and stir.
- Top with a nice lofty pile of sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. And if you’re looking for extra deliciousness, top with chocolate shavings. So pretty!
- Pour the remaining pumpkin spice mixture into a quart jar or similar sized container and top with a lid. Store in the refrigerator. When ready to make another drink, shake the jar well and repeat the assembly of the pumpkin spice latte. The pumpkin spice mixture will keep well for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

Oh, this is sooo good! Buying these specialty drinks really adds up, so in searching and trying other
recipes that I found and being disappointed in those, I found this one.
The only thing I can say is BINGO !!!!
I am happy, happy, happy!
Wonderful! So glad you liked this, Pamela!
I just have to send you a thanks… I’m a teacher and brought half of my batch into work, and it’s such a huge hit. :) So thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH for writing to let me know! I’m so glad you and your coworkers are enjoying this! :)
Finally got around to making this–my only tweak is using Penzeys Pumpkin Pie Spice–2 T.–for all the spices because I am lazy and they are down the street from me. I whipped it up in a food processsor. I know some people do not like the sludge of spices in the bottom of the cup but I am pushing 70 and coffee was always percolated on the stove and always had grounds floating around and in the bottom of your cup. I love a the ‘heft’ and body this has. It is a lovely taste treat.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying this, Susan – thanks for coming back to let me know! :)
This is the best part of fall!
What a great idea to have a whole batch ready to go in the morning~
Hi, can I use skim milk and nonfat sweetened condensed milk?
I’ve made it with skim milk and it worked fine for me. Also did a batch with almond milk once, it also turned out well.
