Jo Bryan says
October 13, 2013 at 2:45 pmOoh sounds scrummy
Stacey @ The Anonymous Blonde says
October 13, 2013 at 3:17 pmOh, no, that’s why pumpkin spice lattes are so delicious – 1 cup of sugar! Yikes! I do love my PSLs though!
Jennifer says
October 14, 2013 at 6:58 pmA shocker, right! When we don’t make things, it’s always surprising to find out what’s inside. But I do LOVE the lattes!
Ashley says
October 16, 2013 at 9:37 amThat sounds amazing!! I will have to give this a try!
Julie says
October 16, 2013 at 11:32 amI 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!
Laura says
November 26, 2014 at 10:05 amWhen 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
Pat says
September 26, 2018 at 4:49 pmSimple syrup- Sugar andWater- simmer for 3-5 minutes. Same for this except you are adding spices.
Melissa @ A Room for Two with a View says

Jenn Alex Brockman says
July 30, 2014 at 10:15 pmI wonder if it can be made with splenda? I have a diabetic in the house.
Jennifer says
July 31, 2014 at 8:46 amI 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.
Dallas Thompson says
August 29, 2014 at 1:34 pmSooo maybe I’m an absolute idiot.. But what do you do after you’ve made the syrup?
Jennifer says
August 29, 2014 at 4:00 pmAdd it your choice of milk…. 1%, soy or what not. Heat it up and enjoy 🙂
Daneen says
September 1, 2014 at 9:22 pmI 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
Jennifer says
September 2, 2014 at 11:39 amSorry. You’re the first one to actually point that out! Guess everyone already has their coffee and milk in hand. Ha!
Gianna says
September 23, 2014 at 1:23 pmwhat about frappachino would you just add ice and blend?
Jennifer says
September 23, 2014 at 1:23 pmThat sounds about right 🙂
denise says
September 26, 2014 at 1:33 pmThis 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!
Jennifer says
September 26, 2014 at 2:14 pmYeah! So glad you liked it. And canning it… I never would have thought of that. What an awesome idea!!!!
Gwen says
October 1, 2014 at 9:27 pmI just amended my grocery list! I can not wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Jennifer says
October 1, 2014 at 10:11 pmHa! Have fun and definitely come back to tell me what you think!
Linds says
October 13, 2014 at 9:01 amHow long do you summer for?
Linds says
October 13, 2014 at 9:03 amI mean simmer:) autocorrect sorry!
Laura says
November 26, 2014 at 10:09 amI 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
Rachel @ Simple Seasonal says
August 31, 2015 at 9:17 amThis sounds amazing! The best thing is that your ingredients are all-natural!
Jennifer Hughes says
August 31, 2015 at 9:34 amAbsolutely! And you’re going to love the recipe. It’s a reader favorite by far!
Jacinta says
August 31, 2015 at 6:35 pmWhat should I do with leftover syrup? Refrigerate or room temperature? Thanks!
Jacinta says
August 31, 2015 at 6:35 pmAnd by the way, this recipe is perfect!
Jennifer Hughes says
August 31, 2015 at 6:59 pmPersonally, I would refrigerate. And did you make the recipe? Isn’t it delish!?!
Linda Sue says
August 31, 2015 at 8:09 pmI love flavored coffees. I just started learning how to make my own. The store-bought versions are out of my budget these days.
Evija says

Jennifer Hughes says
September 9, 2015 at 7:14 amNot to toot my own horn…. but it is. It will definitely become a fall/winter favorite for you 😀 Enjoy!
Bekah Reynolds says
September 9, 2015 at 10:05 amI 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!! 🙂
Bekah Reynolds says
September 9, 2015 at 10:08 amAlso pinned this as soon as I tried it and loved it! 🙂
Jennifer Hughes says
September 9, 2015 at 10:42 amSo 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.
Bekah Reynolds says
September 10, 2015 at 8:53 amOkay awesome well thank you so much! 🙂
Jennifer Juniper says
September 14, 2015 at 6:38 pmThis looks amazing and I may have to give up sleep tonight by having this caffeinated yumminess before bed!
Jennifer Hughes says
September 14, 2015 at 7:10 pmLOL…. the things we do for deliciousness! 😉
Jon says
September 17, 2015 at 4:18 pmSo. 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!!!
Jennifer Hughes says
September 17, 2015 at 5:59 pmActually, 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!
Carol @ The Red Painted Cottage says

Kari Wagner Hoban says
October 19, 2016 at 8:06 amI just recently got hooked on PSL’s so this is perfect! And saves me money!
The Jenny Evolution says
October 19, 2016 at 1:13 pmI 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.

The Rambler says
October 26, 2016 at 3:24 pmI’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 =)
Crystal says
October 27, 2016 at 7:39 pmOh I’m sure this is a much desired recipe! I never got on that bandwagon but I do love Starbucks 🙂 Thanks for sharing #homemattersparty
Mary Newth says
November 5, 2016 at 12:28 pmI 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!
The Jenny Evolution says
November 12, 2016 at 8:41 amYou 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!
Fall is here says
September 11, 2017 at 8:00 pmHuge 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!
JD Day says
September 26, 2017 at 9:07 pmDid you use the full amount of sugar? Debating on whether to try with sugar or splenda…
The Jenny Evolution says
September 27, 2017 at 9:47 amI use the full sugar…
Kim says
October 18, 2017 at 12:15 pmI 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??
Malin says
October 26, 2018 at 5:57 amHi
Silly Swede here (where Starbucks are still few an far away)
Am I suppose to use all the syrup for 1 cup?
Mommy Evolution says
November 8, 2018 at 3:14 pmIt’s really up to what you like for the taste….
