Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 dash salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher gelatin (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, salt, and pepper thoroughly in a cold saucepan.
  2. Add the honey and pumpkin puree to the dry spice mixture and whisk to combine.
  3. Slowly pour the coconut milk into the saucepan to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency.
  4. Heat the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly until it reaches your desired drinking temperature without reaching a boil.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Serve immediately in your favorite mug.

Notes

Ensure you whisk the dry spices well before adding heat to prevent clumping. Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy mouthfeel. Gelatin is optional and helps thicken the drink significantly.
