It’s BACK. The “PSL”…but you don’t have to drop $5 a pop…you can make your own!
And FWIW – I’m in the “SCM” camp.
Hence all the salted caramel recipes.

Are you in the PSL group or the SCM group?!

Yield – 2 large servings
Preparation Time – 5 minutes
Cooking Time – 8 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk

- 1 cup strong coffee, or 2 espresso shots

- Stir in the vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and continue warming for another minute.
- Just as it starts to bubble, stir in the coffee or espresso. Remove from heat.

Yum! I wonder if I could make the base ahead of time so I can speed up the process each day?
At some point would it be possible for you to test/share a dairy free version?
That would be amazing. Maybe I’ll try it with some vanilla almond milk. Probably won’t be too successful though lol. I’ll let you know
Turned out pretty good with vanilla almond milk. I’ll probably try 1-1.5 cups vanilla and the rest unsweetened next time though.
Thanks for the almond milk tip. I was wondering about that! 🙂
Does anyone else have issues with the pumpkin settling to the bottom and gagging you when you get to that point in the coffee? I love love pumpkin coffee, but cant do the odd textures in it. Ive even tried straining it, and that was super time consuming and the coffee was practically cold when I got to it, after burning my fingers of course. Ideas?
You could try infusing the milk with the pumpkin – cook it over low heat for 30 minutes or so, and then strain it out. Heat that milk, add the other flavors, and then add coffee.
AWESOME!! This is actually better for you than the processed crap they use to make those heavenly PSL at Starbucks.. Thanks!!
You guys, pumpkin spice lattes don’t normally have pumpkin in them. Its the spices that give them the taste. Even Starbucks PSL doesn’t contain actual pumpkin. As far as I’ve been able to tell, pumpkin doesn’t even really have a taste. When I eat pumpkin pie I taste the spices thats pretty much it. This is coming from a super picky eater who refused to touch pumpkin pie until she was 27 because she was afraid it would taste like veggies. LOL. Now I am a pumpkin-spice-aholic.
Has anyone tried making the pumpkin spice latte ahead in a larger batch and then reheating it in the morning?
