EVEN BETTER THAN STARBUCKS Pumpkin spice latte recipe : Starbucks copycat that is better than the real thing

Pumpkin spice fall latte recipe

Ingredients

1to 3 tablespoons of pumpkin purée or CANNED PUMPKIN ( not pie filling ) ( I used Libby's canned ) or just make your own by steaming it till soft and purée ingredients it by mashing or in a food processor. Or torani pumpkin spice syrup ( i would go 1/2 pumpkin spice syrup 1/2 vanilla syrup) , get it on AMAzon Starbucks uses this.

A half to one tea spoon of pumpkin pie spice ( cinnamon nutmeg cloves and all spice together )

freshly grounded blackpepper and sea salt ( just one pinch ) ( i used himalayan salt or pure sea salt )

2-3 tbs of pure white cane sugar

2-3 tbs of pure vanilla extract

2 cups of fullfat milk or full fat cashew milk ( for vegans )

1,2 or 3 shots of dark espresso ( i would just go for1-1 1/2 shots ) ( OP , if you don't like coffee )

1/4 cup of whipping cream, whipped or whipping cream in a can ( LIKE REDDYWHIP or COOL WHIP )

stuff you need :

coffee machine/ espresso maker
mixer,blender or a balloon whisk to mix or whip up the whipping cream ( op , if you have REDDI whip or COOL whip no need )
stove and boiling equipment
wood mixer/spoon
balloon whisk
blender

HOW TO :

In a small boiling saucepan, over low to medium heat, mix up all of the pumpkin with the pumpkin pie spice :) then add in your salt and pepper, then cook for about 1:30 to 2 minutes or until it seems steamy,hot and it smells delicious. Make sure that you stir really really well !!

Then add in your white sugar, you may want to turn it to lower heat because it may caramelize quickly stir it into the pumpkin mix and mix really really really well, incoperate it into the pumpkin.It should look kind of bubbly, with a really thick gooey texture like a syrup, make sure that you do not burn the sugar.

In a bowl combine the milk and vanilla extract whisk well or until small bubbles form up, then set  it to heat up in the pumpkin-sugar mix on the stove and then warm the milk slowly over medium heat, just warming it not boiling.

To make everything nice in a blender blend on high everything to get it find of bubbly and frothy what i did is i poured 1/2 the mixture into my mug and the other half i blended into the froth, top it off with your frothy milk,whipped cream, and extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon or maybe dark cocoa powder or salted caramel if you would like.

The anotomy of my pumpkin spice:

1st layer : just the milk mixture
2nd layer : frothy milk mixture
3rd layer: whipped cream
4th layer:extra pumpkin spice,vanilla syrup,cinnamon and cocoa powder.
