Pumpkin Spice Hot Coffee Recipe
This delightful drink combines rich coffee with creamy pumpkin and a blend of spices for the ultimate autumn indulgence.
Ingredients
- Brewed coffee: 1 cup strong enough to wake the dead
- Pumpkin puree: ¼ cup make sure it's not the pie filling
- Milk or a dairy alternative: ½ cup (for that creamy goodness)
- Pumpkin spice: 1 teaspoon because you can't have too much spice
- Sugar or maple syrup: 1-2 tablespoons sweetness to taste
- Vanilla extract: ½ teaspoon a touch of fancy
- Whipped cream optional: for that over-the-top feel
Instructions
- Brew a strong cup of coffee; it needs to pack a punch.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin spice, and sugar.
- Whisk until smooth and heated through, but don’t boil; nobody wants burnt pumpkin.
- Stir in the brewed coffee and vanilla extract; mix well.
- Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream if you’re feeling decadent.
- Enjoy the cozy vibes and your pumpkin spice victory!
