When the chill in the air announces the beginning of winter, I start craving warming spices and pumpkins! I love keeping a batch of this spiced pumpkin puree in the fridge to transform my everyday latte into a glorious treat! Why spend money on artificially-flavoured syrups when the real thing is so much tastier!
