Here's how to make a vegan pumpkin spice latte that's just as good as Starbucks' version—if not better.

Is it too early for a pumpkin spice latte? Of course not. Between Starbucks announcing the return of its famous PSL and stores rolling out Halloween decorations, it's safe to say it's officially that time of year again. What better way to celebrate the dawning of the season than with a vegan pumpkin spice latte you can make right at home?
Starbuck's pumpkin spice syrup contains milk, making it a no-go for those who avoid dairy. Making a more planet-friendly version that uses plant-based ingredients is easy. Just ask Carleigh Bodrug, the recipe developer behind @plantyou, who shared a dairy-free copycat of Starbucks' PSL on TikTok.
Bodrug's surprisingly simple process of making a completely vegan pumpkin spice latte doesn't require any fancy appliances or ingredients. Just a whisk and a few fall-flavored items.
Below, you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to whip up your own PSL in less than five minutes. Happy sipping!
