What’s more fall-coded than a pumpkin spice latte? It’s warm, grounding, and just a fun nod to the change of season. This year, instead of opting for the drive-through version that’s packed with sky-high levels of sugar and artificial flavors, you can make our delicious pumpkin spice latte recipe from the comfort of home. It tastes better when you’re enjoying it out of your favorite seasonal mug, anyway, and it’s made with healthier ingredients you can feel good about.

What’s the Craze Around Pumpkin Spice Lattes?
Perhaps similar to the Jersey Shore’s iconic “GTL”, gym-tan-laundry coined in 2009, a very famous coffee chain popularized the fun, festive “PSL” drink in 2003. The world raved over the pumpkin spice blend and we all ran with it. How could we not? It’s a delicious, genius blend of flavors. Plus, because this sweet treat is only available for a limited time, there’s a sense of urgency to enjoy it (or make it yourself) within a timeframe that is considered seasonally appropriate. At Dandy Blend, we don’t like to limit ourselves to trending recipes, especially ones as delicious as our very own pumpkin spice latte recipe. So, if you love a good PSL, you can enjoy our version any time of the year.
How to Make our New Dandy Blend Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
To enjoy our new and improved Dandy Blend pumpkin spice latte, you’ll need to gather a few fall cozy ingredients. The star is, of course, Dandy Blend along with pumpkin purée, a seasonal pumpkin spice blend, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and milk. The spices that really amp up this recipe include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You’ll start by making your Dandy Blend “shot” by combining Dandy Blend and water. Then, whisk in your pumpkin purée until smooth. Add spices, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. You can opt for honey if you prefer, but the toasty notes of maple syrup really add to the warmth of this drink. Finish off with your favorite type of milk, give it a stir, and you’ve got a delicious, better-for-you Dandy Blend PSL.
