What Is a PSL?
PSL, or Pumpkin Spice Latte’s have been around for years now and are a fall staple. It’s a regular milk-based latte, with pumpkin spices and flavorings.
Starbuck’s is famous for them and they usually appear in stores around late August and continue through the fall months.
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients
- Caramel protein shake – we use this one and it’s delicious. You can get it on Amazon, or at most grocery stores and Sam’s or Costco. This latte will keep you full all morning because of this protein ingredient.
- sugar – regular, white sugar or a sugar substitute
- pumpkin puree – use regular pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- coffee – whatever kind of regular coffee, fully brewed

Can I Save This For Later?
This recipe will make two lattes. If you want to drink one now and save one for later, just put the extra in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to drink it, just be sure to give is a good whisk again as the ingredients may separate.
