Brrr! After weeks--literally, some 90+ days in a row--of temps over 90 degrees in the ATL, it's finally feeling like fall. The thermometer showed 32 degrees this morning, and it hasn't warmed up much, so I've been brewing hot tea all day. Until now.
I just found a recipe for pumpkin latte posted on artist's Susan Branch's site (that's www.SusanBranch.com). I'm about to try this, 'cause it looks yum!
Pumpkin Latte
2 heaping T. canned pumpkin
1 T. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
hot coffee, decaf or expresso
hot milk
Into a large mug, put first 4 ingredients. Till cup halfway with coffee and stir well. Fill rest of cup with hot milk and whisk. Top with whipped cream and dust with nutmeg.
The recipe doesn't give a calorie count, which is just as well, if you're topping it off with whipped cream! Enjoy!
p.s.--Thanks to Kathryn for suggesting that I post recipes from time to time. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Lynn, this sounds wonderful! I have a smidge left over from a pumpkin custard recipe - this sounds like a delicious way to be frugal!
