Spiced Pumpkin Mocha Lattes
Coffee makes everything better doesn’t it? It’s like God’s little gift to humanity to make life more bearable.
When I was little, I used to think “I’ll never like that nasty black stuff Mom and Dad drink!” and yet somehow here I sit completely hooked. I’m still a little bit in denial about it but I have a feeling I won’t be getting over it anytime soon unless forced by a natural disaster, third world war, or something bigger stopping the coffee supply to this country.
I used to think Loralai from Gilmore Girls was so hilarious with her extreme addiction to the Jo, but what was even funnier was how Luke always told her she couldn’t have it. Sorry for making references you don’t understand if you’ve never seen the show, but speaking of that, did any of you see the Netflix finale? We've been re-watching them recently and I'm thinking of giving them a second chance before I pass judgment.
Okay, but more to the point, we have lattes to discuss! I know there’s about a trillion and four recipes for pumpkin spice lattes out there and this one is probably not spectacularly different from them all, but I guess I was feeling left out of the latte club so here’s my contribution. There’s always a big hype about Starbuck’s pumpkin spice latte and, I’ve never actually had one, but from what I’ve heard they’re not all that, but you guys all know how I feel about things being better when you make them yourself.
I added a little chocolate to these but I did my best to keep the ingredients super easy because, really, isn’t that the whole point of coffee in the first place? Who can handle a complicated recipe for coffee before they’ve had their coffee? It’s like a catch 22.
I am so excited for Fall you guys!!! My favorite months of the year. So I made two different versions of this so that one could be vegan for my wonderful vegan readers and friends (love you guys!). But I also know that a lot of you prefer just plain and simple dairy products so there’s that too. This is how I’d like to wake up everyday and I think this would be the perfect way to start of your day come Thanksgiving. I don’t know if you can tell but I have….. a latte love for this recipe! (Sorry, I’ve got some really punny friends who are starting to rub off on me.)
