Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa (or Mocha or Latte)
If you're a huge fan of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte during the fall, then you'll love this much healthier homemade version. I love that now the kids can also enjoy this yummy drink since I've included a hot cocoa version for them, too!
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
Hot Cocoa Version:
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
