I love that you did this, honestly. I love that you don't hate on the pumpkin spice latte just because it's popular or not ~pure~ or whatever. You consistently embrace everybody who loves coffee whether or not they like it in the "right" way and it's just so refreshing to know I can come here for the excitement and curiosity without the gatekeeping. Also, "supercritical extract of cloves" is making me giggle.

Fun tip! I make pumpkin spice “cubes” every year when falls comes, I have my own recipe I use for the actual pumpkin spice portion, but I like it with the purée (sort of like the initial recipe). Then I pour into an ice cube tray and freeze them. When you want a latte, I put the cube into a bit of warmed milk, stir until its defrosted, then make my latte as normal, just going a bit hotter on the rest of the milk. Takes all of 5-6 minutes!

Hi James, ex Starbucks employee here, worked in Wimbledon for 3 years and if I remember correctly since fall of either 2017 or 2018 the new vegan recipe for the PSL came to fruition, with actual pumpkin in the ingredients but no condensed milk. The drink was at first, like you said, just about the spices(and actually the best seller ever for Starbucks) and then Starbucks claimed customers seemed to ask for it to have actual pumpkin or pumpkin flavouring in it. My memory might not be perfect(I left a year ago) but I hope this helps clear out some fog about the drink. Also the spices were correct, mainly cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg on the top.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade because people thought "pumpkin spice latte" means "pumpkin and spices flavored latte" Also somewhat unrelated but in the USA at least, the pumpkin sauce contained both milk and pumpkin puree as early as 2014 (when I started working at Starbucks myself) and had been told it was the first year real pumpkin was included when the sauce started shipping. That said, the pumpkin syrup he has in this video looks completely different from the sauce that we used in the US so I am wondering if there is some regional difference. The psl sauce in the US was very thick, creamy looking, a softer lighter orange color, and also there was about an ounce of it in the grande size (much more than he shows in the video) - what he has looks much more like a thin sugar syrup that most of the other drinks are flavored with (eg caramel macchiato, caramel apple spice, etc)

I really appreciate that you aren't obsessed with black coffee. You understand that people have different palates and like their drinks to taste different, and you acknowledge that spiced lattes absolutely have their place and are absolutely delicious and just as artisanal as coffee itself.

I think you're the first and only person I've seen make a video recreating a Starbucks drink without trash talking Starbucks and belittling the people who drink it. I'm new to your channel, but I just wanted to say thank you.💕

Recommendation - you can use annatto seed powder to get the orange hue in the coffee whilst adding subtle, a peppery-nutmeg flavour. We often use annatto seed to colour filipino desserts or curries orange, and I always use it in my spice mix when I make pumpkin spice lattes from home. Cheers!

I drink a lot of stuff from places like Starbucks as a college student, but have never really liked coffee, because no one has ever presented it to me as something pleasant, rather just a necessary caffeine hit. After finding James' channel, now when I buy coffee, I've been ordering things with less and less sugar and flavorings, and I find myself actually enjoying it. I'm even considering getting my own "proper" home setup with a hand grinder, french press, moka pot, etc, whatever else interests me from his videos. James has managed to somewhat alleviate the images of my father's scalding black morning Folgers made with yesterday's spent grounds, and for that I thank you.

Wow! Thank you, James! That‘s amazing.

I had a similar moment regarding spices some time after developing my appreciation of coffee. We are often taught to think of things as fungible commodities and think almost exclusively of price. I think for many the next step is to consider freshness. Finally a realization that coffee/cinnamon/etc are not some element or molecule with consistent and agreed upon structure. That where and how it is grown and processed impact flavour. Its just interesting that that realization came years before spices for me. Perhaps because I seldom taste them in isolation like coffee. Usually multiple spices mixed with multiple other ingredients.

An interesting thing about ginger is unlike most spices and coffee you can grow it almost anywhere, even where I live in Canada. You can grow it in a pot on your porch. In fact, most of the ginger root we have where I live in BC is locally grown. You can also get local ginger powder in a more local-focused grocery store. I don’t know what that would mean for the flavour profile, but it’s important if you’re worried about traceability and buying fair trade.

Well, I did it. I went out and bought the spices, the Jarrahdale pumpkin, the cheese cloth, etc. I bought it all and I did the damn thing... And it truly is delicious. There's almost a savory element to the syrup, and it counterbalances the sweetness of the sugar and richness of the spices that would otherwise be overwhelming. This weekend will be the full test - Red Brick espresso, the whipped cream, and 15g of syrup in -an 8oz- a 240ml cup. I'll report back with the final test. 10/19 update: I built the full latte today, and it was definitely worth the journey. Lightly sweet but balanced, with a slightly savory taste from the pumpkin. You can taste the individual spices (even more when you dust the top), and the coffee flavor from the whipped cream is unexpectedly the star - it helps translate the espresso flavor through everything else and makes sure it isn't lost. Overall, if you're trying to consider whether or not you attempt this recipe - go for it!

Benjamin! Another MKE sub?! Too crazy. So many shops for him to visit, James could do a whole trip of the the unexpected world of specialty coffee in MKE and WI at large.

Is that the Spice House in Tosa? Off Watertown Plank Rd?

I love your willingness to be halfway into shooting a video and throw it out because it just isn't working - and then to be honest about it. Super great habit that will keep you creatively on-track.

I'm so glad that I've met your channel, James! The content is just amazing: Cozy Educational Interesting Entertaining Also, I just like you as a person, thank you for your time and effort, keep it up.

RE: Pumpkin in the latte The recipes change, so no clue about this years specifically, but in 2014-2015 when I worked at Starbucks I believe there was pumpkin puree (or something to that effect) in the Pumpkin spice flavoring. The explanation I got regarding that was along the lines of, people heard there wasn't pumpkin in there Pumpkin spice lattes and made enough of a fuss that it got added.

Love this video! I've been making my own version at home using a teaspoon of store bought "pumpkin pie spice extract" which is a tincture of the usual spices suspended in alcohol. It says "keep away from open flame" on the box. I wonder if that means I could potentially make a "flaming pumpkin spice latte"!

this is the best recipe i have seen , cant wait to try

So good! Thank you. I want more recipes likes this.

That looks like what I always want a PSL to be, but sadly never is.

When I saw the Spice House bags, I couldn't help but think, "Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well." I hated myself for it, but I thought it.

Great video, James! I like that you gave consideration for non-dairy options. I'm looking forward to trying this one out!

That looks like a beautiful thing. I appreciate the work you put into that. I love spices shopping, it's so exciting! Thank you James 🙏

I'm living for James' milk-stache lol
