Savor Autumn with these 3 Pumpkin Spice Blends

No flavor defines autumn quite like pumpkin spice. Here are three ways to enjoy autumn's signature blend at home.

Teeccino Pumpkin Spice Latte

Teeccino created its Pumpkin Spice Chicory Roasted Herbal Tea in response customers' requests for a pumpkin spice blend. The drink gets positive reviews every year. It is made of organic roasted carob, organic barley and chicory, dates, almonds, natural pumpkin spice flavor, organic cinnamon, nutmeg and organic ginger cloves. To complement the herbal beverage, Teecino now offers its recipe for Pumpkin Spice Creamer that can easily be made at home. The combination of the two creates an exquisite Pumpkin Spice Herbal Tea Latte. Teeccino Pumpkin Spice Chicory Roasted Herbal Tea can be purchased on the company’s website, and its Pumpkin Spice Creamer recipe is below. INSTRUCTIONS Use either regular milk or a non-dairy milk like Califia Almond Milk, unsweetened. Almond milk adds a nice nutty flavor that compliments pumpkin spice. INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups milk / almond milk
• 2 tbsp canned pumpkin purée
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (Recommended: Frontier’s Organic Pumpkin Spice blend)
• ½ tsp cinnamon (Add if you want more cinnamon flavor)
• Optional: ½ tsp turmeric powder for color and antioxidants!

DIRECTIONS

1. Begin by adding the pumpkin purée and the maple syrup to a pot.
2. Whisk the ingredients together while you pour in the milk.
3. Add the spices and whisk well to incorporate.
4. Heat the mixture on the stove until hot.
5. Froth using an electric hand mixer. Almond milk with pumpkin in it won’t froth up quite as much as regular milk but it still produces a lovely foamy effect.
6. Choose a festive mug. Fill it half full with brewed Teeccino Pumpkin Spice. Fill the rest of the mug with the frothed pumpkin creamer.
7. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream.
