Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups milk (whole or your preferred type)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients. In a medium saucepan, add the pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and maple syrup (if using). Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Heat the Mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Warm the mixture gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. Continue until the drink is hot but not boiling, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add Vanilla. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
  4. Serve Warm. Pour the hot pumpkin nog into mugs and enjoy immediately. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for extra aroma.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a richer and creamier texture, or substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust the spices to taste depending on your preference for warmth and intensity.
  • This recipe can be customized with a splash of bourbon or rum for an adult version.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase maple syrup or add a little brown sugar.
  • Make sure to whisk frequently while heating to prevent the milk from scalding.
