  "account": "Erin, host of The Coffee Lab, shares her method for creating a Pumpkin Spice Latte at home without an espresso machine. She believes coffee enthusiasts who can't afford such a machine should still be able to enjoy the drink. The Coffee Lab is all about making coffee fun and accessible, so Erin is here to help debunk the idea that you need expensive equipment to make a great-tasting PSL.\n\nTo prepare the instant espresso, add one or two teaspoons to hot water. For a Starbucks-esque flavor, add Monin Pumpkin Spice syrup and condensed milk. Mix everything together and enjoy your homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. For those who want a creamier texture, use a milk frother or heat milk in the microwave. While this homemade PSL won't impress true PSL aficionados, it's an affordable and fun alternative for those who want to enjoy the seasonal treat without breaking the bank or investing in an espresso machine.",
