- Zum-bah!! (Say it with the emphasis on the second...)
- Quick stop at the library to pick up a much desired What Alice Forgot {still trying to keep up with my book club from home...miss you ladies!}
- a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks
The first 2 don't disappoint, but the 3rd did. Hrmmph.... In fairness, I asked the barista to lighten it for me, so maybe that was the difference...less sugar and fat?
So, to truly satisfy that craving, I made my own Pinterest-inspired PSL this morning. You can, too!
- make a simple syrup with equal parts water and sweetener in a saucepan {I used sucanat, but you could also use brown sugar, white sugar, or even maple syrup or honey}
- bring to a low boil and take off the heat, let cool
- in a container large enough to hold and store all ingredients, add 1/8 c. pureed pumpkin
- add 1/4 t. pumpkin pie spice {you can also combine your own with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves}
- pour your cooled simple syrup into the container and shake
- add a smidge to your hot coffee with or without cream
- keep in fridge
