Homemade Instant Pumpkin Spice Latte Mix
August 30, 2021. If you are one of the many Autumn season enthusiasts, then today’s post is just for you! Yes, Autumn is still a few weeks out, but the excitement is starting to bubble over for the colorful season. One of the first telltale signs that Fall is approaching is the emergence of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. The pumpkin spice fervor has grown into a whole industry devoted to creating pumpkin spice products to the point of hilarity although pumpkin spice ramen is one creation that I will not be partaking of. However, pumpkin spice lattes are something I do enjoy. In fact, I just had my first for the season this last week. but at $5 a pop these can get pricy fast. So, I created a yummy, homemade instant pumpkin spice latte mix. Even better is that it uses real pumpkin! It is delicious!
And how did I get real pumpkin into an instant mix? Pumpkin powder. The world of online shopping has opened up so many doors to creativity and I knew that somehow, I could find some natural pumpkin product to put in my drink mix. Pumpkin powder is a real thing and gives the latte a deep pumpkin taste- no artificial syrup. One thing to mention is that pumpkin powder does not fully dissolve, so you will likely have pumpkin sludge at the bottom of your drink unless you periodically stir. This does not inhibit the enjoyment or taste of the drink. In fact, I enjoyed it all the more that I had real pumpkin in my drink. So, for all of you psl fans the recipe is below, plus the link to the powder I used. Happy dreaming of Autumn.
