Pumpkin Spice Coffee DIY


I was lamenting to my mother that I didn't buy the pumpkin coffee grounds at Dunkin Donuts because I didn't want to pay $8 for a small bag of coffee. 

Apparently my mother has been keeping a secret and has never shared it with me:
Spices in your coffee grounds!

Like duh!

So to make a full pot of coffee I put 2 Tbs of pumpkin pie spice in my coffee grounds (I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg too).

Doing this means you can have pumpkin coffe without using any processed creamers. I add half and half and sugar- voila! Pumpkin spice coffee!

Delish!

Linking with live laugh rowe, house of hepworths, and a glimpse inside today!

    Well, if I had known I was holding out on you, I would have held out even longer. "you would." I hope I haven't stunted your development too much.

    I feel betrayed! My whole childhood is in tatters! Who am I? What does this life mean?

    What a novel idea! I swear, our moms are so much smarter than we ever gave them credit for! I was ready to spend about four bucks on some pumpkin coffee creamer yesterday but couldn't find any so now I can just dig in my spice rack!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Visiting from HOH!

    Is that your mom's hands?? I saw them and I thought gosh! Emily's hands look so similiar to Aunt Patte's. So? And I didn't even know there was such a thing as "pumpkin pie spice"!!! So you've ALL been holding out on me! (or is this some family thing you make?)

      Sooooo. This morning I decided to sneak some pumpkin pie spice into the coffee. I did NOT tell the mister.

      Just seconds ago I hear, "Did you do something different to the coffee?"

      Me, "Ummmm."

      Him, "Every time I go for a drink I smell like I'm downing hot wassail."

      Then I just lost it. Cracked up. Thanks for the recipe. I loved it. The mister actually didn't mind either.
