Pumpkin Spice Latte

I always look forward to October when Starbucks brings back their Pumpkin Spice Latte.  I had one yesterday after dropping Z off at preschool.  But Starbucks is too expensive to get more than once in a while.  So I searched the internet and found a version that I can make at home.  It comes pretty close. 

1 cup milk
1-2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons pumpkin (from a can)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 - 1/2 cup espresso or strongly brewed coffee

In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and pumpkin.  Bring to a light boil, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pumpkin pie spice.  Whisk until frothy.  Pour mixture over espresso.  Top with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.  Enjoy!
