Pumpkin Spice Latte

I wandered down the coffee aisle at Target today and "accidentally" bought three different kinds of coffee.  Whoops.  I probably didn't need three kinds.

On another note, I was super excited a few weeks ago when pumpkin-latte season started in all of the coffee shops, until I tried to buy one at a popular chain.  They claimed they were out of pumpkin syrup for the season.  The SEASON!  How is that even possible?!  It was barely October!

This recipe is a great substitute for the coffee-shop version of the pumpkin spice latte.  It's probably cheaper too!


This is one GIANT mug (yay, Sevilla!), and it was nearly full.  The recipe makes a lot!
