And we can't wait to share with you our go-to recipe for the PERFECT autumnal drink...

YOU WILL NEEDΒ 

For the spice blend

  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
IngredientsΒ

Optional

  • Whole cinnamon stick
  • Whipped or squirty cream

METHODΒ 

1. Bake and puree your pumpkin!

The first step is to make the pumpkin puree. First, take a sharp knife, remove the skin, deseed and then cut your pumpkin into large chunks. Place onto a baking tray into your preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes at 190Β°C. Allow to cool a little and then blend until smooth.

2. Make your spice blend

As you wait for your pumpkin to bake, make your spice blend.

The perfect blend is as follows - 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

3. Warm the milk

In a non stick saucepan, gently warm 2 mugs of milk

4. Get mixing

Add 1/2 teaspoon of your spice mix, shot of espresso, sugar (if using), dash of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of your pumpkin puree into your hot milk. Whisk until smooth.

5. Drink!

Go outside, look at the beautiful autumnal colours and enjoy! β˜•οΈ
