Easy Healthy Pumpkin Pie Latte
- 6 Tbsp of your favorite roast, ground
- 4 c of water
- 1 c fat-free milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (can purchase pre-mixed, or mix your own), divided in two
- ½ tsp vanilla extract, divided in two
- 1 tsp sugar (optional), divided in two
- Brew your coffee: You can use a standard coffee maker using 6 Tbsp of ground coffee and 4 c of water as per the directions of your particular model. You can also brew the coffee by bringing the water to a boil in a small saucepan, adding the coffee grounds, covering the saucepan and removing from heat. If you choose this method, wait about 10 minutes, allowing the grinds to settle completely before carefully pouring the coffee off the top.
- Prepare your milk: In a mason jar (or any other container with a lid - I use my single-serving blender cup with closed top), pour 8 fl oz of fat-free milk. Close the lid tightly. Shake the milk until it doubles in size. Unscrew the lid, and microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warm. Watch it carefully, it will continue to expand and a milky overflow makes a pretty sticky mess!
- Put it all together: Add pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and desired sweetener, if any, to your drinking mugs. Pour equal amounts of steamed milk into the mugs, spoon froth on top. Add coffee to each mug. Give it a quick stir, folding the froth into the coffee, and enjoy! For decorative purposes, you can add an additional sprinkle of pumpkin pie spices to the top and/or pop in a cinnamon stick.

I really need to try this because I see things with pumpkin all the time but because I think I don’t like pumpkin, I figure I wouldn’t like the beverages as well. However, this recipe and picture sure makes it looks delicious! Also, Nice website Khrista!
