PSL? Really?!

I know, another pumpkin spice latte recipe. Already so many versions are popping around the blogosphere and I’m adding this to the list.

You guys, there can never be enough pumpkin spice latte recipes out there. This is exactly what autumn does to you. And espresso.

No joke.

PSL aside, I hesitantly woke up last Friday morning after a sleepless night. Nonetheless, I’m left without much choice but to frantically pack a carry-on, drive to the airport, make a mad dash through security and sprint towards the gate only to be ultimately disappointed with the fact that I could not locate PSL.

Or any caffeine for that matter.

With sleep deprivation the night before, the yearning for a cuppa practically grew by the second. I could not muster any courage looking through these photos until I have a cuppa. Send help! This post was long overdue, no thanks to zero PSL and the refusal to spend $6.99 for an inflight wifi.

Priorities?! Duh.

It has been quite a fun experience in Houston, Texas. Follow us along on Instagram where I’ll be posting what we’ve been indulging, which is way too much. Unfortunately, not enough PSL’s.

Darn the sweltering hot weather here.

Do you love PSL’s? Have you tried homemade lattes?

My body can’t take caffeine very well, so not a latte drinker. However, every autumn, I do convince my husband to get PSL once or twice instead of his regular latte so that I can have few sips. Yours look amazing. Love the photos.

I have had homemade lattes at other people’s homes. I have never tried PSL. Toooooo hot situations really drain me by the way. This latte looks delicious. But frankly anything with whipped cream rings my door chime.

Gorgeous, gorgeous pics, I can only imagine how good these taste, 100 times better than Starbucks.

I’ve never had PSL but I’ve been to too many airports and had no luck finding a lot of things. This pumpkin latte sounds incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever had that milk before either!

I would love to indulge in this PSL every morning. As I said on my blog, I believe it is worth making our own pumpkin spice latte and thus keep control of the ingredients. There so much more than flavorings here, this is a real delicious drink!

28 MyKabulKitchen November 18, 2014 at 12:14 PM

Love me a PSL, recently I have had Pumpkin Spice Chai at a few places which has even more of a spice kick which I love! Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂
