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, though pumpkin spice ramen is one creation I will not be partaking in. However, I do enjoy pumpkin spice lattes. In fact, I just had my first for the season this last week. But at $5 a pop, they can add up fast. So, I created a yummy, homemade instant pumpkin spice latte mix. Even better, it uses real pumpkin! It is delicious!

And how did I get real pumpkin into an instant mix? Pumpkin powder. Online shopping has opened so many doors to creativity, and I knew I could find a natural pumpkin product to add to my drink mix. Pumpkin powder is a real thing and gives the latte a deep pumpkin taste- no artificial syrup. One thing to mention: pumpkin powder doesn’t fully dissolve, so you will likely have pumpkin sludge at the bottom of your drink unless you stir periodically. This doesn’t affect 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 you PSL fans, the recipe is below, along with the link to the powder I used. Happy Autumn dreaming!
