Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fl oz milk of choice (can be dairy milk or non-dairy milk alternative)
- 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
- dollop of whipped cream (optional)
- pinch of pumpkin pie spice (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the cold pumpkin spice milk: Add the milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice into a blender. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, place the ingredients into a large jar and blend using an immersion blender for convenience.
- Make the warm pumpkin milk (optional): If you prefer a warm drink, put all ingredients except the garnishes into a small saucepan. Heat on the stovetop over medium-high heat until the mixture is warm and steaming, whisking continuously to combine everything evenly.
- Garnish the drink: Pour the pumpkin milk into a glass or mug. Optionally top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a festive finish.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your pumpkin spice milk right away, whether cold or warm.
Notes
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk according to preference or dietary needs.

- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- If making warm, whisk continuously to prevent burning or sticking.
