To brew my own pumpkin spice flavored coffee, I brew my regular strong coffee to make a latte. I use Starbucks Verona bold and use 5 tbsp grounds to 2 C of water. On top of grounds in the filter I sprinkle 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice. Then I brew the coffee like normal.
To make the latte, I pour milk (1% organic) 1/3 way full in my mug. Then microwave for about a minute to get warm.
Very delish!!!
Hubby doesn't do lattes, but does enjoy some black pumpkin spice coffee. :)
Make your own vanilla syrup and avoid that nasty HFCS and it's cheaper:
In saucepan, bring 2 C sugar and 1 C water to boil til sugar is dissolved. Set aside and let cool a bit. Pour into a re-sealable container and pour in 2 tbsp vanilla. I keep mine in the refrigerator.

OH NO!!!!! What have you done!!!! Now I will have no way of fitting into my Christmas Party Dress.... OH WELL thats why they come in bigger sizes!
Oh these sound so yummy. I have never heard of them or the pumpkin pie spice but might have to hunt it out and see if you can purchase it here!
Angela,
To make your own pumpkin pie spice just blend the following spices:
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
That will make one tsp pumpkin pie spice or increase the quantities to make more to keep on hand. :)
