Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks! While I adore these sweet seasonal treats, my wallet doesn’t. Rachelle’s Starbucks latte habit cost her $2,971 a year…and I just don’t have that kind of cash to spend on coffee. These pumpkin spice coffee recipes are a great way to give your coffee that delicious pumpkin flavor without breaking the bank.

This recipe may be my favorite! It takes just 60 seconds and you’ll only need one ingredient. Simply drop a bag of Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Tea into your morning coffee. Let it sit for one minute and then drink your coffee. It’s just an extra 20¢ per cup AND the black tea will even add a little more caffeine to your coffee. Yum!

Awesome! I have had 2 PSLs so far this year and knew I had to nip this in the bud, fast! I want to add that I found at Target this morning Starbuck’s via Pumpkin Spice latte – about 6 servings for just a little over $5. A significant savings compared to the coffeehouse. HOWEVER, I tried one and it was AWFUL!!! So word to the wise! The taste is different and not worth it! I look forward to trying your other recipes!
