'Tis the Season for Fall - Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte

I saw a quote that said "How do you know when it is Fall?" The answer was "When Starbucks starts selling its Pumpkin Spice Latte!" And now that it is official - the pumpkin spice latte shortage crisis has ended. Whew!

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte

1/2 cup brewed espresso or 3/4 cup strong coffee
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)

Add coffee/espresso and milk to a 2 quart slow cooker.

Whisk in pumpkin, spices, sugar and vanilla.

Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

Whisk again. Ladle into mugs and garnish with whipped cream and additional cinnamon.
