Last week a good friend of mine posted a recipe for homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte's .
While fairly intriguing, the recipe had a bit too much white sugar in it for my liking. However, my husband loves Starbucks Pumpkin Latte's and looks forward to them all year, so I was determined to take a stab at creating one that might be a wee bit healthier. This is the result and judging from his truly satisfied expression I succeeded! Happy Husband..Happy Life..Happy Life..Happy Wife! This is even more luscious on a chilly autumn night with a warming jigger of single malt stirred into it (nothing too peaty) , a crackling fire and a piece of pumpkin pie! Ingredients 3 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon 3 Tbsp maple syrup 2 Tbsp light whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon of unsalted butter 2/3 cup(s) canned pumpkin 1 1/2 cup(s) black coffee or strong Chai Tea 1 1/2 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Milk Alternative For the evening a wee dram of single malt, something a bit sweet like Macallan, Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie! Instructions: Brew the coffee/tea and in a saucepan, whisk together the other ingredients. Heat until boiling and stir gently. Pour the heated milk, pumpkin and spice mixture into a vitamix or blender along with the coffee. Blend until smooth and pour into mugs. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy!
