I will definitely no longer be waiting for Starbucks to be putting pumpkin back in season. This drink tasted like long fall days at a pumpkin patch, but in summer, and tasted exactly like the Starbucks fall classic. While this drink was the most time consuming, taking around 30 minutes, it was definitely worth it. Most of the time went towards making a pumpkin syrup out of spices and pumpkin puree, and in the end you are left with enough homemade syrup for multiple drinks. Despite a little more time and mess, for die hard pumpkin spice latte fans it is a great alternative to Starbucks.
