Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Latte

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin OR 1 teaspoon of Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup (your choice)
• 2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute - you can halve this amount
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1-2 shots espresso (about 1/4 cup of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don't have an espresso machine.)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don't have a blender, don't worry about it - just whisk the mixture really well with a wire whisk.
2. Pour into a large mug or two mugs. Add the espresso on top.
3. Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
