Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 100% pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or other sweetener to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream optional, for garnish
  • Pumpkin pie spice optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Mug
  • Immersion blender or frother (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine the ingredients in a saucepan: milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the milk is heated through and the pumpkin puree is fully incorporated. Be careful not to boil.
  3. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your liking. Add more maple syrup for sweetness, or more pumpkin pie spice for stronger spice flavor.
  4. Froth the milk (optional) using an immersion blender or whisk for a creamier texture.
  5. Pour the pumpkin spice milk into mugs.
  6. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk. Don't skip the pinch of salt; it enhances the flavors. Adjust the sweetener to your liking, using honey, agave, or sugar as alternatives. You can make this ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving. For a spiked version, add a shot of rum, bourbon, or Irish cream liqueur. For vegan option, use non-dairy milk. Consider chilling the milk for iced version.
