'Real Pumpkin' Spice Steamer/Latte (Dairy/Soy Free)

Yep, it's that time of year again. Everyone is talking about them...Pumpkin Spice Lattes! I admit it... I too am one of those people who anticipates the yearly holiday drink offerings at my local Starbucks store. We're like kids waiting for Santa! However now- a-days with coffee, dairy, soy AND sugar on my 'naughty list', I must fend for myself and forge a new way to get my yearly holiday drink fix. So here it is, my Pumpkin Spice Steamer! I made this a little extra spicy. You may want to play with the amount of spices to find your perfect mix of spice and even sweetness.

'Real Pumpkin' Spice Steamer

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups full fat coconut Milk (try Natural Value which is BPA and guar gum free)

1 cup filtered water (or more coconut milk at a ratio  you like)

Alternatively you could use 2 1/2 cups of cashew/almond/raw milk

Alternatively you could replace the above ingredients with 2 1/2 cup home made coconut milk

6 Tbls   fresh roasted pumpkin

1 tsp  ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp  ground ginger

1/4 tsp  ground cloves

1/4 tsp  nutmeg

2 tsp  vanilla extract

2 - 3 Tbls or more raw honey/agave

Optional: Add a 1 tea bag of your favorite black tea or red tea(steep while heating, about 4 min) for a great Pumpkin Chai Tea.

Or replace some of the water for a shot of espresso or 1/4 cup of brewed coffee  for a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I like to use all full fat coconut milk when making lattes.

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend till well combined and smooth.

Either pour over ice or heat in a small sauce pan till it just breaks into a boil. Sprinkle with a little extra nutmeg... Serve and enjoy!
