Everyone loves a warm latte on a crisp fall day. That’s what makes Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte so popular. Before you get on your bike or in your car to head to the nearest location… it turns out that they’re easier than you’d think to make at home!
Making a Coffee-Shop Latte at Home
The most important part of making your latte taste coffee-shop-worthy is making a flavored syrup. I did this one with cinnamon, maple, and vanilla, but the possibilities are endless. Once you’ve got that done, brew yourself some strong coffee, add your favorite milk (bonus points for frothed), and voila, a Cinnamon Spice Latte!
Expand your flavor options by making our homemade Pumpkin Spice, Apple Crisp, and Maple Brown Sugar latte syrups.
