Making my own pumpkin spice latte has been on my mind. A lot. I love them, but can't afford them. And I wanted to find a way to make them with natural, unharmful ingredients, anyway. Making pumpkin bread with the pancake squash last night sparked an idea. What if I put the spices I use in pumpkin bread into my coffee? So this morning, I pinched and sprinkled some cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves, allspice, and nutmeg, added about a teaspoon of maple syrup (The real kind, people. It has to be the real kind.) annnd... a couple teaspoons of cream(mmm). It was tasty-licious! But it was missing the pumpkin taste. Go figure. Next time, after I process the pumpkins in the garden, I'll whisk about 1 teaspoon of the purée in there and let you know how it turns out. ;)
