Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

I have a confession to make...I have an extreme weakness for Pumpkin Spice Lattes, however with that being said I hate paying the price that comes along with that delicious Starbucks cup. Over the years, my family and I have tried various recipes, but this would definitely be our favorite. There is just something about it that makes it only acceptable during the fall and winter seasons, but I look forward to this warm cup in my hand year after year. It always reminds me of pumpkin patches, scarves and the company of some of our wonderful friends. This is enough to make one cup, but you can easily convert it for a larger batch.  We have even made this and put the finished product in a large crockpot with a ladle for our company to put whatever they want in their glass! I hope that this recipe makes your fall a little better.
