 Are you ready for a latte? Remember last week we made the pumpkin pie spice blend and I told you I'd show you how you can use it to make a latte. So I've already started. I just got a small saucepan. I used one tablespoon of my pumpkin pie spice blend along with two tablespoons of mashed squash. Now I used leftover squash, some roasted squash I had in the fridge. I just mashed it up with my fork and I used two tablespoons of this. But if you happen to have some pureed pumpkin on hand or even the canned pumpkin puree, you can use that. So two tablespoons with one tablespoon of the spice blend and one cup of water. Mix it up, put it on the stove, bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Then take it off the heat. Now you can see that it's just kind of a mushy mixture. We definitely don't want that in our latte. So we need to strain it. I've got my coffee filter over a pitcher and I'm just going to pour it right into the coffee filter and just let it drain. Now I'm going to add some sweetener. You can use honey or maple syrup, but however much syrup you have in, or liquid that you have in your measuring cup use that same amount of sweetener. And I'm gonna use some maple syrup right now. So I'll put in half a cup of maple syrup and I'll stir that up. And this syrup is ready to use. So to store it, just put it in a jar in the refrigerator. It makes a great little gift if you attach directions on how to use it. So I'm going to put just a little shot of this liquid into my coffee mug, just a little shot into each one. And then I'm going to add equal amounts of coffee and milk. You can use whatever kind of milk you want if you want regular whole milk. You can use cream or you can use a non-dairy milk, but you wanna make sure that that milk is heated. So I'm going to put my milk in and I'll leave just enough room at the top for a little dollop of cream. And I'm gonna stir this up. And then of course, just a little drizzle of some nice thick cream. And there you have your pumpkin spice latte. Cheers, have a happy Thanksgiving. I'm Sue Dodin, sharing good food for Good Life 365.
