Healthy Pumpkin Spiced Latte
My favorite way to drink in the feeling of fall is to drink a homemade healthy Pumpkin Spiced Latte. So, anyone who knows me, knows that I rarely ever drink caffeine and practically never drink coffee (Yes, I live in Seattle and yes, I don’t enjoy coffee — it happens). But I always make an exception for this low-fat dairy free seasonal drink because it tastes so creamy, light, and full of my favorite fall flavors. This recipe is super-fast to make — perfect for busy mornings. – Kara, The Accidental Chef

Ingredients:
- 6 cups of Macadamia Nut Milk

In a small pot combine milk, pumpkin butter, canned pumpkin, and light brown sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until boiling.
Immediately remove the pan from heat, and add in the vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the brewed coffee. Use a blender to mix or use a whisk.
