From Episode 3 of Cafecito Conversations: The Art of the Autumn Kitchen.
This is the at-home pumpkin spice latte from our Café Corner — real pumpkin, real ingredients, and no $7 drive-thru needed. It takes about five minutes, and it tastes like fall even here in the Florida humidity, because fall is a state of mind.
I make it with condensed milk instead of a pile of sugar — it melts right in and gives the latte a silky sweetness without any syrup from a bottle.
