Single-Serving Pumpkin Spice Latte

What if we told you that you could make your favorite, Starbucks-inspired pumpkin spice latte, right there in the comfort of your own home kitchen? Rather than calling for a big batch of homemade pumpkin spice syrup, we've streamlined the process so that you only make as much pumpkin syrup as you need for one latte. Feel free to scale the recipe up if you're preparing more. If you don't have access to an espresso machine, any strongly-brewed coffee will do. In addition, alt-milks or lower-fat milks can be substituted, although whole milk will be the richest and most satisfying.

I couldn’t drink this. The spice was overpowering and was gritty. This is almost as much spice as used in an entire pie. For your milkshake that serves two people you are using 1 teaspoon of spice. This was a waste of ingredients and time. Please correct the recipe. Most one serving pumpkin spice latte recipes call for 1/2 teaspoon of spice.

Do you put the final result in a tall glass as instructed or in a coffee cup as pictured?
That is why the rating is only two stars...contradictory instructions!!
