Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
canned pumpkin puree
-
1/2 teaspoon
pumpkin pie spice
-
1 pinch
freshly cracked black pepper
-
2 tablespoons
sugar (optional)
-
2 tablespoons
pure vanilla extract
-
2 cups
milk of your choice (I use skim or soy)
-
1-2
shots of espresso (or 1/3-1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee)
Directions
-
Add the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, pepper, sugar, vanilla and milk to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until hot and fragrant, whisking constantly to prevent it from burning and to blend all ingredients well.
-
Once heated through, blend or whisk the milk mixture until frothy by either carefully blending with a hand blender or in a traditional blender. If you don’t have either of these, whisk vigorously for approx 30 seconds.
-
Add the coffee or espresso to your favorite mug and pour the milk mixture over top. Sprinkle with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice.
