It’s the drink that launched a thousand pumpkin-spice flavoured products - the famous pumpkin spice latte (PSL). The PSL may have earned its fame in coffee shops, but making this cup of sweet, fall flavors at home is surprisingly easy.
Bonus: Our version is far lower in sugar than the typical PSL, so go ahead...have two.
