Happy National Coffee Day! Let’s celebrate by making this super quick recipe for a delicious latte! The thing that I like the most about making my own pumpkin spice latte at home is that I can adjust the sweetness and there is no need to use syrups at all. This recipe works with natural sweeteners too.
