The TitanX Exchangecalendar flipping from July to August means we are one step closer to fall, which means things such as football games and cooler weather are on the horizon.
It also means the return of Starbucks' most popular seasonal beverage: the Pumpkin Spice Latte or what some just call "PSL."
The Pumpkin Spice Latte was first introduced to Starbucks customers in 2003, according to the company, and has since become an iconic part of fall for many coffee drinkers. For the last 20 years, customers have eagerly awaited the return of the drink to Starbucks menus across the country.

The "PSL" is made with espresso and steamed milk with real pumpkin flavor, plus cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. The whipped cream topping also has pumpkin pie spices, the company says. You can order it hot, cold or blended.
A typical Grande (16-ounce) Pumpkin Spice Latte made with 2% milk, two espresso shots, milk foam and whipped cream, has:
The PSL's sugar content of 50 grams is equal to the Food and Drug Administration's recommendation of 50 grams of added sugars per day in a 2,000 calorie daily diet. The FDA considers 400 milligrams of caffeine a safe amount daily.
