Recipe type: Drink
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 5 Tbsp canned pure pumpkin
  • 5 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp freshly ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 shot of strong coffee
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (optional)
Instructions
  1. Start boiling water to make the French press coffee. Meanwhile, gently heat the milk in a small saucepan. Be careful not to scald the milk or bring it to a boil. Whisk in pumpkin and mix thoroughly. Stir in sugar and blend until dissolved. Add spices and blend. Add vanilla and stir. Keep milk on the heat as long as it is not starting to boil or scald.
  2. Make the coffee in the French press, stronger than usual.
  3. Use a hand-held egg beater (or an immersion blender if you have one) to froth up the warm milk mixture.
  4. Use a whisk, or an egg beater, or a hand held mixer to whip the cream.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of coffee into a tall mug. Pour the milk mixture on top until the cup is nearly full. Add a large dollop of whipped cream and grate a little bit of nutmeg on top. This recipe makes two tall cups.
