Pumpkin Spice Latte

So this isn’t a beer/food pairing, but its so good and we have been enjoying it everyday, so I thought it was a much share.

Servings - 2

Coffee – any coffee will work but something basic not other underlying flavors already there
1 t pumpkin pie spice
¼ c skim milk (or amount/type to your liking)
2 splenda packets (if you don’t like the sweetness, leave this out)
Handheld aerator for foaming coffee (if you don’t have one its worth the investment for making lattes at home, saving you money)

1.      Brew coffee as normal, adding teaspoon to coffee grounds (if you are using a keurig, you will want to add just a pinch of the spice directly into the brewed coffee)
2.      Warm milk for about 30 seconds in microwave
3.      Foam milk with aerator
4.      Add a splenda packet into each mug
5.      Add a little bit of milk to each mug
6.      Fill rest of mug with brewed coffee, leaving some space for additional milk
7.      Use rest of milk to fill mugs

*If you want to make this alcoholic add a shot of spiced rum before topping with milk
