Pumpkin Spice Latte {homemade recipe for 1 week of yummy drinks!}
Just make up one big batch of this Pumpkin Spice Latte mixture to enjoy a hot and fresh cup of spiced fall goodness every day for a week!

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!
Pumpkin Spice Latte {homemade recipe for 1 week of yummy drinks!}
Ingredients
- for the pumpkin spice mixture:
- 1 15-oz. can pumpkin puree
- 2 c. whole milk
- 1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 c. brown sugar
- 2 T. pure vanilla extract
- 1 T. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 tsp. ground dried ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp. allspice
- to assemble the pumpkin spice latte:
- strong coffee
- slightly sweetened whipped cream
- cinnamon
- dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.

I can’t justify handing over $4 – $5 to a barista for a fancy coffee either. Having said that however, I’d pay you to make me this latte :)
I’ve never been keen on Starbucks. I think I go once, maybe twice a year at most. When I do go it’s for a creme frapachino or one of there seasonal fall/winter steamers. Those things are so delicious. And even though it’s like 95 degrees out, I’m realign wanting to make this and drink it hot so my insides can feel all warm and cozy. I want it to be fall dang it!
Oh my – this looks fabulous! Perfect for the coming fall season!
This is so great Brenda! I make myself a latte every morning and this will be a great way for me to spice it up a bit!
I don’t even like coffee and I love this idea. There’s just something wonderful about fall.. :)
Today definitely feels like fall is coming. I could use a mug of this right now.
I’ve never been really into Starbucks. I think I’ll go maybe one or twice (if that) a year. But I do love their fall and winter drinks! This looks so great, and even though it’s like 90 degrees outside, I kind of want to drink this warm and make my insides feel all fuzzy and tingly :)
This will definitely be part of my Thanksgiving menu!
Awesome! Great to hear from you, Susan!
I am not even a coffee drinker but this sounds soooooo good…especially since there is such a chill in the air now!
Yes Brenda, your recipe looks wonderful! I agree that spending $5 on a coffee drink is a bit extravagant! This is great! :-)
Everything about this is perfect, right down to that swirl of whipped cream!
BEST.IDEA.EVER!!!! I can not wait to try this! Sounds so perfect in so many ways :)
What a nice way to welcome Fall. :) I totally agree with you about the price tag of the fancy coffee at the shop. I think your version is way better anyway. ;)
You have no idea how excited I am to see this recipe!! We’ve live in England and I guess the Brits don’t appreciate the value of this drink (as the Koreans didn’t I realized during our years in Seoul)…have all the ingredients and I’m planning to make this recipe this weekend!!!
So nice to hear from you, Lisa. I hope you liked it!
This is perfect, Brenda! I love that I can make one batch that will last me a week!
Yum. My fave cold weather drink…next to a full strength Eggnog latte (after 5349 situps). I need to try out your recipe very soon…weather is getting cold next week!! :)
xo – Happy Friday!

I’d love one of these lattes right now (cute mug too!).
Pumpkin and coffee are MFEO! I especially love 1) that you don’t need any special equipment and 2) the chocolate shavings.
This is so brilliant Brenda! I rarely go to coffee shops because I’m way too tight to spend $5 on a $.50 cup of coffee. I can’t wait to try this!
The homemade version is the best! Love it!
