Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1/2 Vanilla bean
- 1 (1-inch) Ginger knob, cut in half
- 2 Cloves, whole
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg, fresh
- 2 shots Expresso (or strong coffee)
Preparation
- 1 Add milk, homemade pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon stick, ginger, vanilla bean, cloves and nutmeg to a sauce pan. Bring to a simmer. DO NOT BOIL.
- 2 Allow milk and other ingredients to simmer for 20-30 minutes to allow flavor to blend.
- 3 Remove from heat and strain into another sauce pan. Discard solids. Bring milk back to a simmer; do not boil or the milk will burn.
- 4 With a balloon whisk, froth the milk on the stove. It usually takes 1-2 minutes of whisking to triple the volume. Remove from heat.
- 5 Add expresso to your favorite mug. Top with frothed spiced pumpkin. Spoon the froth carefully into your mug and top with a pinch of fresh nutmeg.
