Ingredients
- 2 cups of 2% milk or homemade Almond Milk*
- 3 T of fresh Pumpkin Puree*
- 2 T maple syrup
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ vanilla bean
- 1 1 ” ginger knob cut in half
- 2 whole cloves
- ¼ tsp of fresh nutmeg
- 2 shots of espresso or strong coffee
Instructions
- Add milk (your choice 2% or almond), homemade pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon stick, ginger, ½ vanilla bean, cloves + nutmeg to sauce pan. Bring to a simmer. DO NOT BOIL. Allow the milk and other ingredients to simmer for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together.
- Remove from heat and strain into another sauce pan. Discard solids. Bring milk back up to a simmer. Again do not boil or the milk will burn. Now with a balloon whisk, froth the milk on the stove. It usually takes me about 1-2 minutes of whisking to triple the volume of milk. It should triple in volume. Remove from heat.
- Make your espresso shot.
- Add your espresso to your favorite mug. Top with your frothed spiced pumpkin deliciousness. Spoon the froth carefully into your mug and then top with a pinch of fresh nutmeg. Or if you would like to indulge add a dollop of whip cream. Makes 2 cups, Enjoy!
