Start by making the espresso or coffee and adding the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Froth the milk using a frother to get a creamy texture. Pour the milk over the coffee mixture and top with whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. Voila! You've just made yourself a pumpkin spice latte. You can garnish it with roasted fruit or savory Parmesan treats – a perfect complement to this divine drink.
Frappuccino:
To make a refreshing Frappuccino, make some strong coffee, milk, sugar, ice and flavored syrup or chocolate topping of your choice. Combine the coffee, milk, sugar and ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add your favorite syrup or chocolate topping for extra flavor. Pour the mixture into a glass and garnish with whipped cream if desired. This icy treat is perfect for a hot summer day or whenever you're craving a sweet, cold drink. For this drink you can use the offerings from Starbucks capsules, to get as close as possible to the familiar aroma and taste. To complement the drink, you can add some chocolate chips, roasted almonds on the side and fresh fruit.
