Kid Friendly Pumpkin Lattes

/

We all know that fall is PSL season. My kids asked “What's a PSL?,” so I had to explain the tradition of the Pumpkin Spice Latte for my SoCal little rascals. We then created a special drink with a twist on the classic PSL. For my boys, I removed the coffee and added in marshmallow with the classic pumpkin flavor. Toasted marshmallow and pumpkin spice create a creamy autumn beverage that kids of all ages can enjoy.
