Three years in, the PSL fad is still going strong. I’m definitely a fan of it and will pretty much buy anything that has “pumpkin spice” written on the label. Yogurt, cookies, bread . . . anything- I’ll buy it! I love coffee, but I’m not a coffee making connoisseur. I have a Keurig because it’s easy and fast, and when I had a traditional coffee maker, I would drink the whole pot. That usually wasn’t a good idea a couple of hours later.
To make a homemade pumpkin spice latte I thought that I would need an espresso maker, so I spent a while researching a dreaming up ways to con Paul into buying me one for “business reasons”. Unfortunately for my quest to fill up my counter space with appliances, but thankfully for Paul’s pocket book, there is an awesome easy hack and you don’t need a special espresso machine. Are you ready for it? You better sit down as it’s that big.
Don’t press the big cup size on the Keurig! Use the smallest one. Mind blown.
I’ll give you a moment to recover from that news.
Straining the pumpkin syrup through a sieve or through cheesecloth is also important to the recipe as it prevents any thickness or chunkiness in the latte. I also found that there is a difference between using regular pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling. The filling seems to be thinner, and better suited for the drinks. When straining pureed pumpkin, most of it was caught in the sieve, but with the pie filling, it’s already thin enough to be perfect for a PSL.

In one place u say use evaporated milk, in ingredients list u call for sweetened condensed milk. Those are not the same. Which is it?
Sweetened condensed milk. Sorry for the confusion if I misspoke.
