YOU’LL NEED

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:

*Pumpkin puree: make fresh if you can: just halve a pumpkin, scoop out the seeds, and bake for about 50 minutes. Once it’s cold blend it in a blender or food processor. If you prefer stronger pumpkin flavour, increase the puree by 1-2 tablespoons. Alternatively, feel free to use butternut squash.

*Milk: I used dairy free milk, but any milk will work fine.  

*Mixed spice: mixed spice is commonly used in the UK; the American version called pumpkin pie spice (also known as pumpkin spice). If you don’t have it at home, these spices are actually a mixture of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger and ground cloves; if you have them in your cupboard, you can make it yourself!

*Vanilla extract: it gives a touch of kick to your drink.

*Maple syrup: or anything you fancy to sweeten this drink with. You may want to add it last and adjust the recommended amount.
