MAYA’S PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
We are fortunate to have a teen in our house who loves cooking, baking, food preserving, recipe experimentation, and making fancy drinks. She is specializing in warm drinks made to order at breakfast, and makes incredible matchas, chai lattes, and what we call the “Seine River Fog”. Since it is now pumpkin season, we asked Maya to share her Pumpkin Spice Latte for you to try at home. INGREDIENTS (Makes 2 servings) 4 TBSP local pumpkin puree 2-3 TBSP local raw honey 2-3 tsp cinnamon powder 1 1/2 tsp ginger powder 1/12-2 cups milk of your choice (3% milk, or a barista type foams best) 1 cup organic locally-roasted coffee local organic whipped cream, optional for on top 1) Mix all ingredients (except whipped cream) in a small saucepan using a whisk and stir until well combined. 2) Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly. If you have a hand-held milk foamer then foam the mixture. Otherwise use a whisk to foam. 3) Serve in two cups, sprinkle with more cinnamon. Optional whipped cream! |
