If you\u2019re a fellow coffee lover and are looking for a delicious seasonal drink to try this fall, check out the recipes below provided by Carla for a latte to savor while reading a good book on a chilly autumn day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Love it or hate it, there is an annual measure for the coming of autumn&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. and that\u2019s the availability of pumpkin-spiced drinks everywhere! In honor of the polarizing coffee drink, Ana and Bryan of <em>The Solid Grounds Coffee Company <\/em>are sharing their version of the well-known recipe. Try it and see\u2014it just might convert you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Ana and Bryan\u2019s Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2 ounces strong coffee or espresso<br \/>\n4-5 ounces steamed milk or non-dairy milk<br \/>\n1 \u00bd tablespoons pumpkin pie spice syrup (recipe below)<\/p>\n<p>Make the coffee by your favorite method. If you don\u2019t have an espresso machine, a stovetop moka pot makes an excellent espresso alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Next, heat and froth your milk. You may use a steam wand to do both if you have one; otherwise you can heat the milk separately and froth it by hand or with a battery-operated coffee whisk.<\/p>\n<p>Add the syrup to the bottom of the cup, followed by the coffee, then milk. Stir gently and serve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bd cups filtered water<br \/>\n1 cup white sugar<br \/>\n\u00be cup brown sugar<br \/>\n1\/4 cup pumpkin puree<br \/>\n1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice<br \/>\n1 \u00bd tablespoons vanilla<\/p>\n<p>Combine water and sugars in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. (Do not boil in order to avoid burning the pumpkin puree.) Strain the mixture through a wire sieve lined with a cheesecloth into a small bowl. Stir in the vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>Cool the syrup and then transfer to a tightly sealed container. The syrup will keep up to a month in the refrigerator (but we don\u2019t think it will last that long&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. This stuff is seriously tasty!)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Be sure to exercise caution when making the recipes.
