Pumpkin Week: Pumpkin Spice Latte

All my barista skills paid off when whipping up a tasty variation on my morning coffee. I opted to skip the whipped cream, but if you're feeling extra decadent, by all means, add it!

Pumpkin Spice Latte



Brew a pot of strong coffee. Meanwhile, combine 1 C water and 1 C granulated sugar in a small saucepan on the stovetop over high heat. Boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add 1 t pumpkin pie spice. (Optional: You could strain the resulting syrup through a coffee filter or several layers of cheesecloth to separate out the spices. I leave them in). Fill a coffee cup halfway with coffee, adding warmed fat-free half and half. Finish with 2T of pumpkin spice flavored syrup. Adjust amount of syrup to taste.
