Method
- Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Make sure the pumpkin puree is well incorporated.
- Heat gently: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until it's warm but not boiling. Look for small bubbles forming around the edges of the pan.
- Whisk vigorously: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Using a whisk, blend the mixture until it becomes frothy and even more well combined.
- Adjust sweetness and spice: Taste the milk and adjust the maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice to your liking.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the warm Pumpkin Spice Milk into your favorite mug. Top with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
- Enjoy immediately: Curl up with your warm mug and savor every sip!
Notes
For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and maple syrup. You can also add a splash of bourbon, rum, or coffee liqueur for an adult twist. To make iced pumpkin spice milk, let the milk cool completely before pouring over ice. For extra froth, use an immersion blender or milk frother after heating. Store leftover pumpkin spice milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and shake or stir well before serving.
