How to Make Pumpkin Spice Latte? UK Recipe

How to make Pumpkin Spice Latte without syrup UK

Well...

I promised you some lifestyle videos, AND it's bloomin' Autumn - how exciting is that...so I've kicked off with a 'How To' video over on our YouTube Channel. This is a video I've thought about doing for ages because whenever I've looked in to making Pumpkin Spice Latte there isn't anything quick and easy. Most recipes call for obscure ingredients like pureed pumpkin, or pumpkin spice syrup, and when you live in a little rural village in the UK those things aren't easily available! I actually did try and order pumpkin puree from Sainsburys but when the food shop came they didn't have it...!

I spent a while thinking about ordering some of that Monin coffee syrup but the stuff I found online was like £12 and it said it would take nearly 60 days to arrive - sod that...I know I can make my own so I thought I'd crack on and do a video on it!

So you can watch the full video on our YouTube channel (click here)...but in a nutshell the ingredients are:

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground mixed spice
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon decent instant coffee such as Azera or 1 Lungo Nespresso capsule
210ml milk
Squirty cream if you're feeling a bit cheeky...!

- Mix the dry ingredients and add the maple syrup in
- Put the granulated sugar in your coffee mug
- Add 1 teaspoon of the spiced syrup in to your coffee mug
- Brew coffee in to the mug either instant or nespresso
- Add 210ml of warm milk
- Squirt on cream

Job done! Effectively Pumpkin Spice is a warming spice mix...add coffee and milk and you have a PSL!

You COULD add all of the milk, dry ingredients, sugar and syrup in to a pan with some pureed pumpkin, simmer down and then add to brewed coffee - but that seems such a faff for a quick and easy drink....!

So try it, let me know how you get on and comment below with how it went! :-)

Chilli Penguin Woody Stove Review | Maiden Lighting

If you've been reading my blog posts, you'll know that we've been sort of renovating our lounge (more by accident than design) in order to enable us to install a log burner for the winter. The 1960's bungalow that we finally purchased in May 2017 doesn't benefit from central heating (just individual electric heaters), and there is no mains gas to the property. While we've been making decisions on the best route forward for a central heating system, we thought we'd crack on an install a log burner to give us a source of heat, and also because a fireplace with log burner is sympathetic to the house, the style we are looking to go for and it's stunning country village surroundings. We were fortunate that there was already a chimney and constructional hearth in place, so it was a case of getting rid of the original decorative fireplace and opening up the original fireplace to accommodate a burner. The original decorative fireplace - for a ...

Is Farrow and Ball Worth the Money? Choosing and Using Farrow and Ball

If you’re reading this blog, then perhaps, like us, you’re embarking on a re-decorating or renovation project, someone has recommended using Farrow and Ball and your wondering 'is it really worth the money?'. Choosing For us, the recommendations had come in thick and fast. Everyone from our (rather fabulous) dog groomer (Ruth at The Cotswold Grooming Co) to the MD where I work had raved about Farrow and Ball; “the coverage is great”, “the colours are outstanding”, “it’s really worth the money” – and so much to Rich’s dismay, we ended up in the Farrow and Ball section of the paint aisle at Homebase. Of course, we did due diligence and looked at other paint brands, everything from low to middle range…and left empty handed with nothing but a colour chart and a few colour swatch cards. Paint looks so different under the lights at mainstream DIY stores, and having already chosen our curtains, we were keen to ensure the paint complimented the curtains as well ...

How to Stay Warm in a Colder House

So yes, harping on about it again....we live in a VERY cold house, and recently it snowed....alot! Part of this renovation project is the installation of a full central heating system. So far we've installed a Biomass boiler, which is heating our water, and in time will heat the whole house with a mix of rads and a retro-fitted wet under floor heating system. However, for now as we are still in the planning stages of room layout we are living with electric, fluid-filled, wall mounted heaters. I...am also living with my in-house accountant/husband...so, needless to say these heaters are used sparingly! We've installed a log-burner (yipee!), but we are currently plastering and painting the lounge so it's out of action (booo). The heaters in the house do come on via a timer system, but only in select rooms...so the long and short of it is, the house feels chilly (and in some rooms that are not in use is as low as 4-6 degrees at the moment!). On the whole though we ...
