Best. Post. Ever!!!!! I love, love, looooove Starbucks Pumpkin Latte’s, so I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m going to pin this too 🙂
Summer — Ha! I’m a complete Starbucks addict myself. Let em know if you try this recipe. I can’t wait to hear how it turns out for someone else.
Yum! Can’t wait to try this one
So many people have said they’re going to give this recipe a try. I can’t wait to hear everyone’s feedback!
Ooh sounds scrummy
Oh, no, that’s why pumpkin spice lattes are so delicious – 1 cup of sugar! Yikes! I do love my PSLs though!
A shocker, right! When we don’t make things, it’s always surprising to find out what’s inside. But I do LOVE the lattes!
That sounds amazing!! I will have to give this a try!
I am making this right now. Any thoughts on how long to simmer? Or how much to add to espresso to make it an actual latte? Thanks for the idea!
When I worked as a barista, a shot of espresso was literally a shot glass of espresso, so a double shot, is two shot glasses 🙂 normal latte is one
Simple syrup- Sugar andWater- simmer for 3-5 minutes. Same for this except you are adding spices.
Oh, I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it on my Foodie Friday Blog Hop. (Pinning!!)
Have a great weekend and I hope to see you again next week.

So glad you gave this recipe! Thanks for sharing it. Linda
This is my favorite fall drink at Starbucks, I can’t wait to make it myself =)
Oh yum!!! Will have to try this!
OMG the PSL is one of my favorite Starbucks drinks in the fall! I featured this on my blog today! I’m just stopping by to pin it and say thanks again for sharing! You can check it out here, and grab a Featured button if you don’t already have one: http://practicallyfunctional.com/14-pumpkin-projects-recipes/
Yes, please! I can’t wait to give this a try! I am featuring you on this week’s Hearts for Home blog hop. 🙂
I wonder if it can be made with splenda? I have a diabetic in the house.
I don’t know why you couldn’t make it with Splenda. They have a version that you can use in baking so I know it can withstand the temperatures.
Sooo maybe I’m an absolute idiot.. But what do you do after you’ve made the syrup?
Add it your choice of milk…. 1%, soy or what not. Heat it up and enjoy 🙂
I appreciate the recipe but…isn’t there supposed to be coffee or espresso in this? Kinda left us hanging at the pumpkin spice part..got no latte LOL
Sorry. You’re the first one to actually point that out! Guess everyone already has their coffee and milk in hand. Ha!
what about frappachino would you just add ice and blend?
That sounds about right 🙂
This is delicious! I made the spice mix and added it to regular coffee and skim milk. I made several batches and canned them for friends, and I will be making a lot more of it because everyone is asking for refills! Bravo, and thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. PS- it tastes great in tea, as well!
Yeah! So glad you liked it. And canning it… I never would have thought of that. What an awesome idea!!!!
I just amended my grocery list! I can not wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Ha! Have fun and definitely come back to tell me what you think!
How long do you summer for?
I mean simmer:) autocorrect sorry!
I made this today, I think I failed on the simmer part, and I added another scoop of pumpkin puree, because I made the pumpkin pie spice and it came out too strong! But in the end it still tastes good! I also made my own whipped cream by putting heavy whipping cream & vanilla extract in a jar & shaking it! I think it added the right amount of creamy ness to it
This sounds amazing! The best thing is that your ingredients are all-natural!
Absolutely! And you’re going to love the recipe. It’s a reader favorite by far!
What should I do with leftover syrup? Refrigerate or room temperature? Thanks!
And by the way, this recipe is perfect!
Personally, I would refrigerate. And did you make the recipe? Isn’t it delish!?!
I love flavored coffees. I just started learning how to make my own. The store-bought versions are out of my budget these days.
wow, thanks for the recipe! yumyy! Thank you for sharing with OMHG Wordless Wednesday linky, have a great weekend!! co-host Evija from @Fromevijawithlove xx
I must be the only one to never have tried one of these. Glad I can make my own.
Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays, I hope you will join us next week.
LOL… there may be a couple of other people who haven’t tried one yet 😉 But trust me. You’re going to love this recipe.
Pinned…happening…thanks for the recipe 🙂
LOL… enjoy the recipe 🙂
I am so excited about this. Adding the ingredients to my grocery list to try this weekend!
Thanks for linking up to This is How We Roll linky party!
You’re going to love it! I hope you get a quiet moment to really enjoy 😀
PINNED. This looks amazing!!! I love pumpkin lattes. Your friend, Linda @Crafts a la mode
Not to toot my own horn…. but it is. It will definitely become a fall/winter favorite for you 😀 Enjoy!
I think these are amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I made them for my mom and I this morning and we think they are amazing! However, next time I make them, I think I will cut back some of the sugar cause they are rather sweet. But I do love them! Thank you so much!! 🙂
Also pinned this as soon as I tried it and loved it! 🙂
So pleased you like the recipe. And I completely understand using a little less sugar. The original is sweet but some people prefer it less so.
Okay awesome well thank you so much! 🙂
This looks amazing and I may have to give up sleep tonight by having this caffeinated yumminess before bed!
LOL…. the things we do for deliciousness! 😉
So. Just to clarify. 1 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of coffee is ridiculous. This MUST be a typo right?
I would think this makes a Pumkin Spice base and then add it to the coffee??? Unless you are a human-fly hybrid, and in that case never mind and enjoy!!!
Actually, Jon. Most of the drink is made up of water and milk. (1 cup water, 2 cups milk) and then the coffee adds the needed coffee flavor. But this drink, while considered a coffee drink, certainly isn’t made up mostly of coffee!
I love Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and can’t wait to try your recipe. I’ve already have it pinned. Thanks for sharing…stopping by from Inspire Me Monday.
You’re going to love this recipe… lots of my readers have tried it at home and keep on making it 🙂
Sounds delicious!
Ooooo Im going to the Bucks tomorrow, but I’m pinning this so that when I need my pumpkin latte fix at home, I can look this up and bring the Bucks into my own kitchen. Thanks for sharing, pinned!
Enjoy enjoy enjoy!
I love making my own lattes! This looks fabulous! I cant wait to try it! Thanks for sharing it on Tasty Tuesdays:)
You’ll love this recipe! It’s become a favorite with a number of my readers. 🙂
I love this – I make a spiced pumpkin latte, too, but I really like the idea of the syrup. Thanks for sharing this roundup to Throwback Thursday!
This recipe is SO DELICIOUS!! I made it this morning.
Yeah! So glad you tried it… Enjoy the cooler weather 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks for the recipe.
I found you on a link up. =)
Hi Jenny, What an easy way to do this using the simple syrup! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Blessings, Janet
Absolutely! I’m going to bet it’ll become one of your favorites 🙂
I just recently got hooked on PSL’s so this is perfect! And saves me money!
I know what you mean! I absolutely am hooked on Starbucks Chai Lattes — need them the whole year round. So I figured out how to make them at home and get my “special treat” on the weekends.
Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up!
I’m sooooooooo trying this!!!!!! Visiting from SITS from SAturday sharefest…gah, I know…it’s like several days later. The only time I can enjoy reading is when everyone is at home and work =)
Oh I’m sure this is a much desired recipe! I never got on that bandwagon but I do love Starbucks 🙂 Thanks for sharing #homemattersparty
I was going to make this for a large group- 9 people. Could I go ahead and make the sugar/ water/ pumpkin puree and spices blend ahead of time? Would I refrigerate it? It would be easier to add the coffee and milk at the last minute and serve to guests. Thanks!
You could make it ahead of time… but I would make it the morning of and definitely refrigerate it. Enjoy and let me know how the group likes it!
Huge pumpkin spice fan! Tried this recipe but It was too sweet for my taste I just wanted more pumpkin! I did it a second time and used a half cup of pumpkin purée and 3 tablespoons of spice and then used a cheese cloth to strain without the excess pumpkin “pulp” and fell in love!
Did you use the full amount of sugar? Debating on whether to try with sugar or splenda…
I use the full sugar…
I made it taste like the real thing, the only think I’m doing differently next time is using less sugar it was a little too sweet for me but still yummy??
Hi
Silly Swede here (where Starbucks are still few an far away)
Am I suppose to use all the syrup for 1 cup?
It’s really up to what you like for the taste….
Yes! I’m so incredibly excited to try this. Pinned. Thanks for sharing with To Grandma’s House We Go, I’ll be featuring you next week.
