the pumpkin spice syrup is seasonal so you can’t buy it right now but you can try mixing vanilla, pumpkin spice, sugar and water to make a spicey simple syrup and add about 3-4 tablespoons to your drink. i work at starbucks but i couldn’t say how to duplicate the flavor without buying the actual syrup (which will return this coming fall)

Pumpkin spice lattes. They’re always a treat to get at Starbucks or other coffee shops in the fall, but the cost adds up. We decided that this was another let’s-try-this-at-home treat to try recreating in the kitchen.
The key to the flavor of pumpkin spice lattes is the syrup, and pumpkin spice syrup is quite easy to make. Just make simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar (I used 1 cup each) simmered on the stovetop, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved). Add in pumpkin pie spices (I used 2 T ground cinnamon and 1/2 t. each ground cloves, ginger, and nutmeg) and simmer for five minutes. Strain the spices and grit out of the liquid by pouring it through a few layers of cheesecloth, then add a tablespoon of pure vanilla extract.
Store the cooled syrup in a glass bottle or jar, away from direct sunlight, or in the fridge.
To make a latte, combine 2 shots of espresso with about 2 T spice syrup, then add steamed milk. For extra decadence, top with whipped cream, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top, and pop in a cinnamon stick.

*Pumpkin Spice Latte ( compare to Starbucks )

Ingredients:
1-2 shots espresso (1/4 C. espresso or 1/2 C. strong brewed coffee)
1 c. half and half
1 tb. canned pumpkin :: you may use either whole pumpkin or pie mix
1 tsp. Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup
Optional pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
Directions:
(no espresso machine?)
To make a pumpkin latte in your home: In a small saucepan, stir pumpkin puree into half and half. Add the syrup. Heat on medium until steaming, stirring constantly. You do not want the milk to burn.
In a blender on high speed, use whip setting for 20 seconds until foaming. Pour the mixture into a tall glass and pour coffee over the top. Dust with ground pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg.
(with an espresso machine)
Pour syrup in medium mug and pull your shots. Steam the half and half. Add shots to syrup and then add the steamed milk. Dust with nutmeg. Yum yum!
