It's officially that time of the year again. People are trading in their iced coffees for something a little warmer, like the always sought-after pumpkin spice latte. This drink seems to be gaining in popularity every year, meaning one can cost upwards of $6.00! But, why spend that much money when you can easily make this drink from the comfort of your home for a fraction of the price? Since this recipe uses real pumpkin, it'll likely taste better than what you would get at most coffee shops, too.
