Ingredients

  • 375 ml (1 ½ cups) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 190 ml (¾ cup) canned pumpkin puree
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) maple syrup
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
  • 2.5 ml (½ tsp) ground nutmeg
  • 1 ml (¼ tsp) ground ginger

 

Toppings (optional)

  • 125 ml (½ cup) frothed hot milk
  • 2 cinnamon sticks

Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, mix all the ingredients except for the water, date seed coffee, and toppings.
  2. Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, continuously stirring with a whisk, without bringing it to a boil.
  3. During this time, prepare the roasted date seed coffee using a drip or French press coffee maker.
  4. Optional: The pumpkin puree provides a thicker and creamier texture to the coffee. At this point, you can blend the mixture to make it smoother or strain the milk mixture through a sieve to remove the pumpkin fiber, making the preparation more liquid and less thick.
  5. Add the date seed coffee and distribute the drink into 2 cups.
  6. If desired, garnish with frothed milk, sprinkle with cocoa, and add a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately. Also delicious when served cold: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, without the toppings.
