Gina Gordon’s Pumpkin Spiced Latte
Gina says: In my short story, Her Five Favorite Words, my main character Becca starts off every morning with her favorite drink….a Grande, Vanilla Extra-hot Latte. (FYI..that is my favorite drink too!) But once fall arrives, I switch up my drink of choice to something a little more festive.
I will admit it’s a lot easier to drive over to the nearest Starbucks and buy one but here is a quick recipe for a Pumpkin Spice Latte that I adapted from www.allrecipes.com
You will need:
a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, sugar (to your liking) and brewed espresso
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the milk, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Warm over medium-high heat, whisking frequently, until frothy. Pour your espresso and the warmed milk into a mug and add sugar to taste.
Sounds delish….

It does, doesn’t it? I think I will give it a try this week. It’s pouring rain out and chilly up here in the Sierras. Have a recipe to share Anny?

My daughter would ADORE this recipe. I’ll have to pass it on to her. This sounds like the one she’s been buying at Starbucks all the time.
