Sweet Pumpkin Spice Iced "Macchiato"

Sweet Pumpkin Spice Iced "Macchiato" puts a fun, flavorful twist on that seasonal classic: pumpkin-flavored everything! If you don't have pumpkin spice on hand, you can make your own: for each 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice, combine 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 pinch of black pepper.
