It’s finally that time…
The temperature was in the 50s on Monday. That’s enough of a sign of fall for me, and what would fall be without pumpkin spice lattes? (Well it would still be my favorite season, but I cannot fully experience the season without the warm flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.)
I knew I wanted to share a recipe for a pumpkin spice latte, but not just any pumpkin spice latte- Pumpkin Spice Mocha Latte. That’s right – we’re introducing chocolate to traditional pumpkin spice flavors.
And don’t forget that extra foam on top 🙂

Pumpkin Spice Mocha Latte.

- Add about 1/2 cup of mixture to each cup, then 2 shots of espresso and 1 cup of the milk. Using a frother, foam about 1/2 cup of the steamed milk, and add to top of each drink. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, cocoa powder, and cinnamon sticks. Enjoy hot!
