Today, the Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe has been shared with us by Izzy from Siasconset Village, Nantucket.

History

In 2003, Starbucks introduced the Pumpkin Spice Latte, and it became its most popular seasonal drink in the US. Interestingly, it was just a spice blend, and the recipe didn’t include pumpkin at all. Now, pro chefs, including me, have started to add real pumpkin puree for authenticity, depth, and nutritional richness.
