# Ingredients:
→ The Cozy Base
01 -
1.5 cups full-fat oat milk (not the thin stuff!)
02 -
3 tbsp 100% pure pumpkin puree
03 -
1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup (to taste)
04 -
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
→ The Spice Drawer All-Stars
05 -
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
06 -
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)
07 -
A tiny pinch of sea salt
→ Optional Finishing Flourish
08 -
Dairy-free whipped cream (coconut or oat)
09 -
A shot of espresso or strong coffee
10 -
1 oz bourbon or spiced rum
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in your favorite large mug. Stir them together to form a thick paste.
02 -
Pour the oat milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat. Heat until steaming gently, but do not let it come to a boil.
03 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the mug with the pumpkin mixture. Whisk vigorously until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. This is key for a creamy texture!
04 -
Pour the pumpkin slurry from the mug back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. Whisk to combine and continue heating for another minute until everything is hot.
05 -
Remove the pan from the heat. Use an immersion blender or a handheld milk frother to blend the steamer for 15-20 seconds until it's thick, creamy, and frothy.
06 -
Pour the frothed pumpkin steamer into your mug. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy immediately!
# Notes:
01 -
Use a good quality, full-fat oat milk for the best creamy results. Don't let the milk boil, or it can separate and taste scorched. Whisking the pumpkin into a small amount of milk first prevents lumps. This drink is best served immediately for the best texture and froth.
