Expert Tips
- If your blender handles hot beverages, you can pour the coffee in and blend everything together. Then skip warming it all up in the saucepan.
- You can use a large mug and an immersion blender instead of a regular blender if you’d rather.
- It’s fine to swap the pumpkin pie spice for apple pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Feel free to add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to up the flavor!
- Be sure to use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling!
- You can exchange the brown sugar for maple syrup, or honey.
- Garnish with fresh cinnamon sticks for an extra festive look.
