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!
