Ingredients:
•2 tbsp Pumpkin Purée (can be found in most grocery stores, i’ve also used pumpkin pie filling)
•1/2 tbsp Pumpkin pie spice or spice mixture of your choice
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 shots of Espresso, or strongly brewed coffee
• 2 cups milk of your choice
• Whipped cream (optional)
Directions:
Mix together milk of your choice and pumpkin purée in a pot or saucepan, and heat over medium heat for about a minute or until heated through. Stir continuously through the process.
Remove from heat and add spices, vanilla, and any sweetener you prefer. Use a frother or blender for 30 seconds to create a foamy mixture.
Pour your espresso or brewed coffee into your favorite mug and top with the foamy milk.
Top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired for the full fall effect, and serve. Enjoy!
