Pumpkin Spice is an American classic that everyone seems to love because it signifies that the holiday season is finally upon us. Decades ago the McCormick Spice Company came up with a wonderful idea to sell a combination of spices, blended together and they called it Pumpkin Spice. Obviously some smart people work at that spice company, because when we fast forward to today nearly half a billion dollars a year is spent on Pumpkin Spiced products, a good chunk of that on the Pumpkin Spiced Latte at Starbucks, and it just goes to show if you have a great idea, that is ten percent different, you are on your way to a billion dollar business.
There are some Pumpkin Spice haters out there, and to them we say, well then just drink your coffee black. (John Weaver and Alexander Brown would be happy you were drinking your coffee black) However, if you do love Pumpkin Spice, then take a few minutes to whip up these drinks and enjoy delicious coffee or delicious tea with a yummy Pumpkin Spice twist. There is no need to google coffee near me and coffee shop near me because you can make these drinks in the comfort of you home for a lot less than you will pay at Starbucks. We have prepared them at home and we can tell you, they are delicious drink recipes.

Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Latte
People go crazy over this drink, and understandably so. It’s creamy, sweet, and has all the lovely flavors of pumpkin pie. Top with some coconut whip cream for extra deliciousness!
First, add 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree to a small pot, over medium heat. Stir, then add 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice mix and non-dairy milk of choice (think creamy: coconut, cashew, soy or hemp are all good choices).
Stir, warming, but be careful not to boil.
Turn off the heat, and stir in coffee (about 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, or 1-2 shots of espresso if that’s an option). Taste for sweetness, and adjust as needed.
Pour into a mug, and top with plenty of coconut whip cream, if desired! Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice mix on top of the whip. I usually buy the So Delicious Coco Whip since I can find it at my local store, but if you can’t find it you can always make your own.
