Making a pumpkin spice coffee recipe at home gives you full control over the taste of your drink.
Not only do you know exactly what ingredients are in the mix, you can adjust them to your own preferences. You decide on the use of sweetener, amount of pumpkin spice, or even using decaffeinated coffee instead of regular.
Plus, the options continue once you’re ready to pour a drink. Control the strength of the pumpkin spice flavor with how much of the mix you add to the glass. Pour in your favorite liquid base, using water or milk (animal or plant based). Finally—my favorite way to customize this beverage—with the temperature of the drink.
