Not only is October my favorite month and time of year but I absolutely love Pumpkin Spiced Latte's and for some reason I only drink them in October, LOL.

4 teaspoons white sugar


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice


6 ounces double-strength brewed coffee


3 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream


3 pinches pumpkin pie spice


Directions


1.Combine the hot milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender; blend until frothy. Pour the mixture into 3 coffee mugs to about 2/3 full. Pour 2 ounces coffee into each mug. Garnish each mug with whipped topping and pumpkin pie spice.

Almond Chocolate Coffee Frappe

This thick, delicious frappe (basically, a milk shake with ice cream, coffee and flavoring) can be made with leftover coffee—just make an extra batch of coffee in the morning and refrigerate until you're ready. Follow this recipe as is, or change the flavors using different kinds of ice cream or syrups. Or make it really low in calories and enjoy it the way they traditionally make it in Greece: cold coffee, milk, sweetener and crushed ice mixed in the blender.


Ingredients

* 1/4 cup black coffee (room temperature)
* 1/4 cup milk* (plus a little more, if needed, for smooth blending)
* 1 cup chocolate ice cream
* 1 teaspoon almond extract
* 1 cup crushed ice (or smallest cubes possible)
* 2 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
* Cinnamon, for dusting


Optional

* *Milk options: whole milk, skim milk, soy milk, etc.
* 4 teaspoons of sugar or two packets of sugar substitute (to taste)
* Extra scoops of ice cream, for garnish
* Whipped cream, for topping

Directions
step 1Place black coffee, milk, ice cream, almond extract and crushed ice in blender jar. Add sugar or sugar substitute only if desired. (The taste is quite sweet without it!)

step 2
With blender lid securely closed, pulse blender until mixture is smooth. If blades get stuck, add a little more milk.

step 3
Pour 1 Tablespoon of chocolate syrup into the bottom of each glass. (This makes the drink look and taste even more delectable.)

step 4
Divide the coffee frappe between your glasses and dust with cinnamon. Serve immediately.
