    I didn’t know it either until post-PSL season last year. I think Mama Pea has a recipe for one, though. I want to make a raw smoothie version when they come into season. Er, forget I said that Surpriiiiise.

Agreed!! Though both sound soooo freaking delicious. I haven’t gotten my first pumpkin spice latte yet but I am so excited for when that time comes. So expensive for a drink that disappears so quickly!
