Crock Pot Pumpkin Spiced Latte

It  has been quite the rainy weekend here where I am, and with the cooler and cloudy weather, I've been perusing some recipes. The first one I tried this morning is Crock Pot Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.

I've always been a fan of Starbuck's version, but with the cost, it tends to turn people away. This recipe cost me about $10 total to make, and it made well over 4 servings. (I halved the recipe. The full recipe could easily serve 8, depending on the size mug you'll use.)

The recipe is very simple. You need strong coffee and milk. I will post the full recipe at the end of this post. Here are some pictures of the process:

This was the very beginning process before the crock pot heated up. 

The finished product, 2 hours after combining ingredients. The pumpkin, cinnamon, milk, and coffee blended well together. 

It was a very good mixture, and tasted better than Starbucks. Next time I do it, I will probably add a tad bit more coffee and pumpkin, and a little less cinnamon. 

Here is the complete recipe - I halved it and it still made quite a bit, but the full recipe might be a good amount for parties and larger crowds:

Ingredients

6 cups of milk 

4-6 cups of strongly brewed coffee

1/2 cup of pumpkin puree

1/2 cup of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of sugar

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

3 cinnamon sticks

Instructions

In your crock pot, combine the milk and coffee.

Whip together the pumpkin, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon and pour into the crockpot.

Mix together well.

Toss in 3-4 cinnamon sticks.

Cover the crockpot, and cook on high for 2 hours.
