The pumpkin spice latte has become a staple fall drink for many, as essential as warm mittens and knitted scarves. For this DIY latte, inspired by Starbucks’ popular drink, I used real pumpkin puree for a fresh taste.

Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- water
- coffee
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
