I had purchased a cute sugar pumpkin at the local farm stand and roasted it with a sprinkling of my Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend.  It was one of those hotter than normal September days (more frequent of late) – and even though it was hot, I was still craving a pumpkin spice drink.

So I went off script from the crisp fall day warm Pumpkin spice drink, got out the magic bullet and mixed the following:

1 cup of milk

2 tbs pumpkin puree (from the recently roasted pumpkin)

1 tbs maple syrup

1/2 tsp Spice Mama’s pumpkin pie spice blend.

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Then I poured the delightful concoction over ice, sprinkled a little cinnamon, and voila – nirvana.

I guess if you’re so inclined, this might be even more of a treat with a dollop of whipped cream.

If you’d prefer this warm – toss in the microwave for a minute or two then enjoy.
