Pumpkin Latte

Here's another great pumpkin tea-inspired recipe, courtesy of one of our newest Manitoba consultants. Tasty and keeps some $$ in your wallet (those coffee pub lattes are expensive at $4 or more a pop!)

Pumpkin Latte (makes 1-2 servings)

Ingredients:
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute – adjust to taste
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup strong brewed Steeped Pumpkin Pie black tea (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed Steeped Volcanic coffee)

Directions:
In a saucepan stir together milk, pumpkin and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and pumpkin pie spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds or until foamy. (I don’t usually bother with the blender and just whip the mixture really well with a wire whisk.)


Pour into a large mug or two mugs if you decide to share. Add the tea or coffee on top.

Optional:  Top with whipped cream and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.


Have a spooktacular Halloween!

Mmm.... I bet that would go very well with pumpkin cookies! Is there a non-caffeinated pumpkin tea that could be substituted for the black tea?

You can still use the Pumpkin Pie tea, just brew it for a minute and then pour off the tea, re-brew with the same leaves and voila! Decaffeinated Tea!
