My Version of a PSL

Thanks to my recent coffee obsession I decided to attempt a Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), and… I succeeded :)

I ended up making a concentrated base that I add to my milk before I steam it.  It works really well, tastes delicious, and is made with real pumpkin.  Plus, I ended up making like five and half cups of base, so I have PSL base for the whole season lol  I used whole milk in this base, but next time I think I might use some sweetened condensed milk and cut the sugar down.

The perfect balance for me so far is four heaping “teaspoons” (the smaller spoons that you eat with at the table) added to four ounces of whole milk that I froth together with one shot of espresso or a couple ounces of strongly brewed coffee.

Below you will find links to formatted recipes cards.  Please let me know how your PSL adventure turns out :)

P.S.  You can also simply add Pumpkin Pie Spice to your grounds before you brew.  It’s easier and you get a better froth on the milk.  :)

Design Boards

Howdy!

I saw Lori Holt's Design Boards the other day and fell in love.  So what did I do?  Get foam board and felt (it was on sale).  My foam board was 30"x20", so I was able to to get six 10" squares out of the first piece.  I still want to make three 20"x10" design boards and one full size 30"x20" board.

I am very excited about my design board.  I have been using it as a lap work surface, but I also plan to use them like she discusses in the video for machine piecing :)

I would love to see yours!
