Make-at- Home Pumpkin Spice Latte, Yum!

Last year I learned from Ashley how to make an incredible cup of holiday joy. I can't help but share my recipe here since it is so fabulous (and so much cheaper than the gourmet stores :) )

For Syrup:
1 cup boiling Water
1 cup sugar
2 TB Pumpkin Pie Spices
1 ts vanilla extract (I skip this when overseas and it is still good!)

~~ Put spices in disposable filter (When overseas, I use a thick paper towel)
Mix water and sugar until dissolved; steep spice packet in water for 5 minutes, stirring often to infuse syrup with spices; remove spice packet and mix in vanilla. Syrup can be stored in fridge.

To Prepare a cup:
Heat 1/2 cup milk and mix with 1/3 cup strong coffee; mix in about 2 TB of syrup (adjust to taste); Top with whipped cream ans sprinkle with cinnamon.

Enjoy!

P.S. If you are sending a missionary a care package this Christmas, throw in some instant coffee, a jar of pumpkin pie spice, and this recipe! They will love you for it! :)
