Instructions

Pumpkin pie spice: Mix all the spices together and store in an airtight container.
In a small saucepan on medium heat, add in pumpkin puree and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Stir until it all smells cooked, around 2 minutes. Add in brown sugar, and stir until it becomes a thick syrup.
Pour in the milk and vanilla and only give it a gentle warm-up. Once it's all warm and mixed, pour it into a blender. Blend for around 30 seconds*. Remember the mixture becomes larger as it fluffs up.
Make strong coffee and divide between the mugs. Pour in the pumpkin milk mixture, give it a stir and it's ready! Extra special with whipped cream and salted caramel sauce.
Leftovers: Leftover pumpkin milk can be store covered in the refrigerator for 3 days. Re-heat and blend again if you want the frothy top.**

Recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Puree

* You actually don't have to use the blender, you can also froth it with a milk frother. If the froth itself isn't so important to you, you can simply omit the blender step altogether and pour the pumpkin milk directly into the coffee.

** If you want to keep it for longer than 3 days, do not add milk to the pumpkin syrup, but take out 2/3 of the syrup before adding 2/3 cup of milk - that way you are making only one serving today. The syrup lasts for 1 week in the refrigerator.
