Pumpkin Spice Latte or “PSL”. Some of you cringe at those words, and some of you swoon with excitement to them. Whether you’re a fan or not, we have all experienced the buzz around this wildly popular fall drink that all started with a well-known coffee company back in 2003. If you’ve never heard the story about how it all started, (or I should say it almost never started) it’s pretty darn interesting…you should give a “google search” and check it out.
I’m definitely a huge fan of this seasonal beverage with all the traditional autumn spices in a hot cozy cup of coffee and frothy milk. However, I’m not a big fan of how expensive a store-bought cup is …and just what exactly do they put in it? I’m all about saving a buck, saving time and knowing what exactly I’m putting in my body. So, that’s when I decided to make a dairy-free and naturally sweetened version of the delightful Pumpkin Spice Latte. All you need is a jar, (or container with tightly fitting lid) a microwave and five simple ingredients. This recipe yields one 12oz serving (aka: a TALL size) and only takes a few minutes to come together.
