Pumpkin Spice Latte


I am addicted to Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte...  or really anything pumpkin right now.  I can't afford to get an expensive latte every day, so I looked online and found recipes I can make at home.  Now the espresso machine the kids gave me for Christmas will get some use.

Pumpkin Spice Latte :
Ingredients ~
  • 3 tbsp canned pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 c nonfat milk
  • 2 shots espresso or 3 oz super strong coffee

Pumpkin Pie Latte :
Ingredients ~
  • 2 tbsp sugar free pumpkin pie syrup
  • 1 tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup
  • 1 c nonfat milk
  • 2 shots espresso or 3 oz super strong coffee
  • sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
***If you don't have an espresso maker or frothing wand, the milk, pumpkin, vanilla syrup and spice can be heated on the stove in a small saucepan until foam appears.***

I've tried both of them and I like the second one the best.  They are both only 2 points.  For some stupid reason that I really can't explain, they taste better out of a cardboard cup with a lid too.  I know, all in my head.
