Starbucks has shared the recipe to their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte so you can make it at home any time (or ALL the time!) year-round. Read more to taste Fall at home.

Before crafting the perfect, copycat Starbucks PSL for your favourite mug, you'll first need to make the PSL Syrup.

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 6 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground ginger
•  2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 4 Tbsp pumpkin purée

TOOLS: 

• cheesecloth (try these unbleached, fine mesh)
• sauce pan

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Step 1: Combine sugar and water in saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Step 2: Once sugar is dissolved, add cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, ginger, nutmeg and pumpkin purée, then let simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Remove from heat and immediately strain through cheesecloth.

TIPS: This makes enough syrup for 8 beverages.

Now that you have your syrup, it's time to craft your Latte. You'll need:

• Starbucks® Espresso Roast 
  OR
  1 capsule Starbucks® by Nespresso® Espresso Roast

OTHER INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 Tbsp Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup (see above)
• 1/2 cup whipped cream (Care uses this one when making weekend pancakes for her kids)
• 1 pinch pumpkin pie spice (garnish)

TOOLS

• Frother (we love this one made by Nespresso)

 INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Heat and froth milk in a Nespresso® Aeroccino frother.

Step 2: Brew Starbucks (or your favourite) Espresso

Step 3: Place Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup into a mug, followed by hot espresso. Stir together.

Step 4: Fill mug with heated frothed milk until ¾ full, then top with whipped cream.

Step 5: Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice!
