In mid October I bought a few pie pumpkins and made my own pumpkin puree. I made a loaf of pumpkin bread, a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dessert, and the other day I made some pumpkin spice syrup from a recipe over at A Teaspoon and A Pinch.
Now I am armed to make myself a real hug in a mug.
Steep two bags of chai in a mug, leave room for milk.
Add in a few tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup.
Mix in some warm milk of choice, I used canned coconut milk for extra creaminess.
Enjoy a warm and comforting mug of tea.
