Ingredients
- 1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fl oz milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 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 (for garnish)
- Pinch of pumpkin pie spice (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Cold Pumpkin Spice Milk: In a blender, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a large jar and use an immersion blender for blending.
- Warm the Pumpkin Milk (Optional): For a warm version, transfer the blended mixture (excluding garnishes) into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat on the stovetop, whisking frequently until the drink is hot and steaming but not boiling.
- Garnish: Pour the cold or warm pumpkin milk into a glass or mug. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice over the cream for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, spiced flavors at their best.

- The amount of pumpkin pie spice can be adjusted to taste; start with 1/4 tsp and increase if desired.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Be careful not to overheat the milk to avoid curdling, especially with non-dairy milk alternatives.
