Fall is officially here. Get out the pumpkin spice and cinnamon as you enjoy the changing colorful leaves and cooler temperatures. I am sharing this {repost}, as it’s right about now, that this relaxing java beverage sounds fantastic!
Warm up on these cooler days with this cozy fall drink. Enjoy the fantastic aromas of cinnamon, pumpkin, and cloves brewing on the stovetop – combine that coffee and milk (or cream), and – voila! Fall smells and tastes ready for you in a cup!
This recipe is easy and simple and can be made in 10 minutes. No need for fancy coffee making utensils or equipment. All you need is brewed coffee, a pan for cooking, a whisk, and your favorite coffee cup. I do miss my Starbucks, but this sure does come close. 🙂 And, you don’t even have to leave the house! Enjoy!
- 2 c. milk (or half and half)
- 4 T. pure pumpkin puree
- 4 T. maple syrup
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ½ c. hot coffee
- garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon & sugar
- drizzle with maple syrup
- Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a small pot, and bring to a gentle boil - about 10 minutes on low-medium heat. Remove from heat, and discard the cloves and cinnamon stick. Whisk vigorously until the milk becomes foamy, about 30 seconds. Pour the coffee into a large mug, and top with the foamed milk. Add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
