Spruce Up Your Coffee For Fall

[donna]

How about a mug of streaming pumpkin latte on one of these chilly Fall mornings. This recipe is from "The Amish Cook".

Homemade Pumpkin Latte

1 tablespoon of pumpkin
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup brewed coffee

Blend together and heat in a small sauce pan. Pour into a large mug and put a dab of whipped topping on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

A wonderful treat with breakfast.

I love to make Pumpkin Bread and have it for breakfast. Also the Pumpkin bagels at Panera are delicious.

Over here we have Pumpkin Bread and Pumpin Scones perhaps. But pumpkin is mainly roasted or mashed as a vegetable. You rarely see pumpkin pie for example. But I like the pie.

... and Pumpkin Muffins too. We have them around at places.

I have nothing against pumpkins mind you, but if I want to spice up my coffee on a brisk morning I find a splash of Captain Morgan's Rum to be just the thing.

Hunting for inspiration and found this. We will be trying it soon, so thank you for posting.

I tried it! Hubby turned green when I said what I was doing but he was bright and happy when it was done! It's good - fun change.

Luv my Coffee strong and bold with real cream (no sugar, yuck). I cannot do flavored coffee's anymore, it must be because I do not use Sugar. But I do like Cappuccinos with Hazelnut syrup for some reason. Oh, dig the pumpkin bread, yummy

Love strong coffee... If the spoon doesn't dissolve, it's too weak! Can't do dairy much but sugar just spoils the coffee for me. My sister will dampen her sugar with a little coffee, though.

Like cream in my coffee but no sugar.

Someone here ( Mister @7th Mississippi Infantry ) got us hooked on chicory coffee.

Personally I think it's part of a bigger plot to eventually invade the North.

A wonderful treat with breakfast.

I finally made one and am drinking it right now. Thank you for posting ~ it's fantastic. I'm going to tell myself this is a responsible way to get pumpkin into my daily diet.

This is a bit different but my favorite fall-winter favorite would be what my grandmother calls "Russian Tea". Warm black tea, orange juice and a dash of cinnamon. Eases a sore throat and keeps you warm inside on a cold day. The name probably implies that vodka is used in some mixtures but I refrain in mine.

This thread could also be called spruce up your coffee for winter.

Another great winter treat with coffee is "Spiced Java".

2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cold water
4 whole cloves
1/4 cup cold coffee
2 1/2 cups milk
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Combine cocoa, sugar, water, cloves; heat, stirring, until it comes to a boil. Add coffee. Mix with milk, salt and vanilla extract. Heat until warm. Serves 3.

May be garnished with whipped cream.

"May be garnished ..."??? In my case compulsory!

Heck yeah! When we have leftover Pumpkin Pie, it often becomes a quick breakfast.

I'm glad to know we're not the only ones! It's surprisingly portable, too - sets up pretty firm.
