10/30/2020 2 Comments Week 5 The next trend we tried was to make a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. We wanted to try to learn how to make it ourselves instead of spending a ton of money buying them from Starbucks. So we looked up a recipe online and we found that the actual company Starbucks had posted their recipe so it was perfect for what we were trying to do.
The recipe called for a bunch of spices and stuff that we didn't have, so we first went to the grocery store to buy some things. The recipe also called for the special Starbucks ground coffee, but we decided that it wouldn't make much of a difference to just use the coffee we had at home. So, we bought all the stuff and went home to make it. First we had to put the sugar and the water in a saucepan and dissolve the sugar, after the sugar was dissolved we had to put in all the other spices and let it simmer for 20 minutes. This is the part where we messed up. I don't really know what went wrong but something for sure did because after the 20 minutes was over the stuff in the saucepan looked absolutely disgusting and didn't even look edible. After that we decided it would probably still taste good, so we brewed some coffee and put it in the fridge for it to cool a little but, because we wanted it to be cold when we drank it. Then we waited about 30 minutes and we combined the coffee with the spice mixture we made. It was really gross. I don't think we waited long enough for the coffee to get fully cold so it was like this gross lukewarm temperature and the spice mixture was also hot so it just made the coffee warmer. All around it was really gross and we ended up dumping the whole thing out. We would all definitely recommend that you just spend the 3 or 4 dollars it takes at actual Starbucks to buy a Pumpkin Spice Latte instead of trying to make one yourself.

This made me laugh quite a bit reading it. Sometimes it's just easier to pay someone who knows what they're doing. This is why someone else does my yard work now.
