Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the comfort of Starbucks in your house? Do you live over an hour away from Starbucks? Well I have some good news for you, you can make some of Starbucks famous coffees at your house.

Since fall is soon approaching I’ll start off with their most famous drink, their pumpkin spice latte

Pumpkin Spice Latte

What you will need:

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon of pumpkin puree

1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla syrup

1-2 shoots of espresso or 3-4 oz of dark roast coffee

6 oz of hot milk of your choice

Whip cream

Cinnamon

How to make:

1 Blend brown sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and vanilla until smooth

2 Add the espresso or coffee and your choice of milk

3 Add the whip cream and top it with a dash of cinnamon

Bonus: the Starbucks employee won’t spell your name wrong because their won’t be one!

This is a great alternative if you’re allergic to milk like me and can’t drink coffee shop coffees. This saves you money and time, also you don’t have to risk the barista spelling your name wrong.
