Pumpkin Spiced Latte

I had an extremely busy week, so I was not able to try any new recipes. I had 3 exams and 1 scheduled for tonight. And after all that studying, I was in serious need of a caffeinated drink, not just some plain old coffee but something that would bring me back to the beautiful fall weather and remind me to take a break, smell the fresh fall air and look around at those beautiful fall colors surrounding me. But despite everything I didn’t want to leave the house to get a drink from my favorite coffee shop. I looked in my pantry and saw a can of pumpkin puree, so I decided to make pumpkin spiced latte at home with whatever I had on hand. And let me tell you, this beats anything store-bought and saved me from the hassle of getting out in the cold.

I topped it with some fresh whipped cream because I was in serous need of something delicious and full of fat. Don't judge me!! This served as a perfect pick me up, super delicious, creamy, full of pumpkin taste and cinnamon flavor, and made up for the crazy week I had!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!
