Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte is a lot easier to make than one might think – and the best part about making it your self is that you can totally control the amount of sugar and fat that goes in it, and you can make sure it contains real pumpkin!

The Pumpkin Spice Latte was invented under fluorescent lights at Starbucks headquarters in 2003 by a group of people that were tasting classic fall treats and spices together with a cup of coffee.

Even though customer surveys showed that the trend of mixing pumpkin and coffee should never have happened, customers have ordered more than 200 million cups, making the pumpkin spice latte the most successful drink Starbucks has ever created.

There are still a lot of haters out there and vulgar joke like this one can be heard in line at Starbucks:
“How do you make a pumpkin spice latte? Put yoga pants, Ugg boots, a hoodie, an iPhone 5, and a white girl into a blender.”

But to those people I say:
“How do you enjoy a pumpkin spice latte? Put on a knitted sweater, cuddle up under a blanket in front of the fire and read a good book while sipping on this wintry warming treat.
