Pumpkin Spice Latte

November 4, 2015

In the wise words of Lena Dunham: "The internet says you shouldn't like pumpkin spice lattes so drink them behind closed doors and enjoy them in private."

I have felt the shame of enjoying these seasonal drinks, however that is all they are - SEASONAL DRINKS! They don't define you as some wuss because you're not ordering hardcore black coffee or espresso shots. I love getting into every holiday's spirit, so for the month of November, pumpkin spice lattes it is! These are easy, fun, and festive! I am going to make a batch for Nathan and I tonight to drink while watching a movie!

You will need:
-2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
-2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
-1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-3 tablespoons sugar
-1 1/2 cup whole milk
-6 scoops of ground coffee
-cinnamon for garnish

In a sauce pan add 1 cup of milk 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree,  2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to thicken. Set aside and boil water to make your coffee, that is if you are using a french press! Pour the pumpkin spice mixture into your cup followed by desired amount of coffee and finally use the remaining milk as you desire.

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
