Pumpkin Spiced Latte
My husband has a deep fondness for Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Lattes, prompting me to develop this recipe so we could enjoy them without overspending. I have prepared these lattes countless times for guests, earning a bit of a reputation within our extended family. Best of all, there's no need for an espresso machine!
