I’d actually taken a break from Pumpkin Spice Lattes for a while. The standard Starbucks version had just become way too sweet for me, and these days, I prefer my coffee without sugar or syrup. But a few weeks ago, I spotted Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Creamer at ACME and decided to give it a try, mostly out of curiosity and a bit of nostalgia. Turns out, it’s really really good, and yikes, now I’m hooked.
It has that same warm, spiced flavor as the classic PSL, but since you can adjust how much you add, the sweetness is entirely up to you. I make mine on the Nespresso with Starbucks Blonde capsules and 2% milk. The milk goes in the frother with a teaspoon of the creamer, and the result is so delicious. Honestly, I think it tastes even better than the original PSL.
The Pumpkin Spice Creamer is a seasonal product, and I found mine at ACME, so if you see it in stores, grab it while it’s available. You can also make your own version with pumpkin spice syrup, just add a few drops to your latte. If you go that route, I’d recommend using whole milk to get that same creamy, cafe-style texture.
