Creamy Pumpkin Spice Milk (Ready-to-Print Version)

Creamy pumpkin drink with real pumpkin, warming spices, and a fluffy whipped topping for fall enjoyment.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base Liquids

01 - 1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free such as almond or oat milk)

→ Pumpkin Blend

02 - 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
03 - 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mixture of 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ground cloves)

→ Sweeteners

04 - 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)

→ Optional Garnishes

05 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped (optional)
06 - Pinch of pumpkin pie spice for topping (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Combine milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, mix ingredients in a large jar and blend with an immersion blender until fully combined.
02 - Pour milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is warm and steaming but not boiling.
03 - Pour the pumpkin spice milk into a glass or mug. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to enhance the flavor without overpowering the pumpkin. For a vegan version, ensure both milk and sweetener are plant-based.
02 - Store the pumpkin milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, stirring before serving to recombine settled ingredients.
