Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer
It’s fall y’all! Sorry, I had to. Truly it’s still summer in my head (and IRL) but fall is my favorite season. I’m using this recipe to make cold foam for my iced coffees until the weather actually turns in late September. :)
Ingredients
1 1/4 Cups 100% Pumpkin Puree
Cinnamon Sticks
Whole Cloves
2 Cups Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Half & Half
1/2 Cup Sugar
Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg (optional, I like to dust mine and add extra)
Tools
Fine mesh strainer
Sauce pan
Glass container for storing
Milk frother (optional, for cold foam or lattes)
ONE
Toast a few cinnamon sticks & cloves up on the stove on low-medium heat. Should only be a minute or two.
Two
Add the whole milk, then sugar and simmer for about 20 mins, until thickens a bit. Stir frequently. You can also add some ground cinnamon/nutmeg here to taste.
Three
Remove from heat & stir in pumpkin puree.
Four
Strain through fine mesh strainer (or nut bag, might yield more milk.) Add in half and half + send into fridge to chill!
