Cooler autumn weather calls for warm cupfuls of deliciousness. These sippers incorporate what's best about the season - pumpkin and pie-like spices. And yes, they're beyond delicious!
Spiced Pumpkin Sippers
4 cups whole milk
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Add all ingredients to a saucepan and whisk together over medium heat. Whisk occasionally until hot. Ladle into mugs. Optional: Drizzle with whipped cream that has been softly whipped and sprinkle with ground nutmeg.
Serve hot.
Tips:
If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can reduce the sugar by half.
These sippers are a great drink to serve to guests. To ease the work at party time, prepare the recipe in advance and refrigerate until ready to use.
Keep a crockpot full of the mixture to serve warm throughout your gathering.
Or, drink it one cupful at a time, simply reheating in the microwave.
Y-U-M !
I tried this recipe last night. It was like drinking a pumpkin pie in a mug. I might have to offer it for dessert on Thanksgiving. One suggestion - maybe add cookie crumbles, such as Graham crackers or vanilla thins, to the top of the whipped cream. They might even add to the goodness!

It was so yummy, made this last night and quartered the recipe since it was just me (and a very curious husband and toddler who ended up finishing my cup, lol). So great, thank you for sharing!

I made these last night and they are so delightful! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I hope you don't mind that I shared it on my blog today (with a link here to the original recipe - I substituted honey and maple syrup for the brown sugar.) http://thejourneyoftwo.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/spiced-pumpkin-drink/

SO good! Made a batch of homemade pumpkin on Monday and made these last night for a mom's group I hosted ... LOVED it. Heated the leftovers this morning and added my espresso shots to it for a pumpkin spice latte! DELICIOUS - but I LOVE pumpkin anything!
