Pumpkin Spiced Coffee

Here in New Mexico we are lucky to say that we can find pinon coffee nearly everywhere. I love the flavor of the pinon in my morning cup of Joe. I have recently been experimenting with my usual cup of coffee which normally include a little low fat organic milk. I was inspired by a recent trip to our new neighborhood coffee shop on the way to school, I have been stopping there about once a week. My daughter love their pumpkin bread and blueberry scones. This past weekend while we were in the drive through lane I saw the picture of the pumpkin spice latte and thought I would give it a try, it was good, but way too sweet for this gal. I don't like sugar in my coffee and the pumpkin spice latte was loaded with sugar. I couldn't even drink the entire cup. So I started experimentally with my own low sugar Pumpkin Spiced Coffee. I think I have a winner here - pinon coffee, low fat milk, vanilla bean paste, a cinnamon stick, pumpkin pie spice, topped with real cream whipping cream and topped with pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. This is my new favorite coffee drink and I think you will love it too. Don't worry if you don't have access to pinon coffee any strong brew will do. Let me know what you think. I love hearing from you - it makes me smile and really makes my day.
Cheers,
Cecelia

I would compare this to Starbucks, this is much better, not nearly as much sugar and I used fresh grated nutmeg and pinon coffee as the base. This is a must try morning coffee, spiced with Pumpkin pie spice mix. This not you same old boring coffee.
