Ingredients
Scale
Milk Base
- 1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fl oz milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
Flavoring
- 1/4 cup / 50 g / 1.7 oz pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
- 1 tbsp clear honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Garnish (optional)
- dollop of whipped cream
- pinch of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a large jar and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
- Heat the pumpkin milk (optional): For a warm version, pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat on the stovetop, stirring or whisking continuously until the drink is warm and steaming. Do not allow it to boil.
- Garnish your drink: Pour the warm or cold pumpkin spice milk into your preferred glass or mug. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor and decoration.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pumpkin spice milk immediately while warm or cold and savor its comforting, seasonal flavors.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer including dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk to suit dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference; add more for a stronger spice flavor.
- If using canned pumpkin puree, make sure it’s pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
- The drink can be served cold straight from the blender or warm straight from the stove.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based milk.
