Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup strongly brewed coffee or 1-2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1-3 tsp honey, maple syrup, or homemade simple syrup sweeten to taste
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • whipped cream garnish
  • ground cinnamon or nutmeg garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a small airtight container. Mix thoroughly. The spice mixture makes enough for several servings.
  • Brew coffee using a French press or alternate brew method.
  • Combine 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture with the milk in a small saucepan. Add the pumpkin, vanilla extract, and sweetener of your choice. Heat to slightly hotter than your desired drinking temperature.
  • Once the coffee has brewed and the pumpkin mixture has reached the correct temperature, combine 1/4 cup of coffee and the mixture in a blender. You can alternately use a milk frother, if you have one available.
  • Blend on high for 1-2 minutes to add body to the drink.
  • Pour into the mug of your choice, top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, and enjoy!
