If you follow my twitter, you know that I’ve been playing around with some coffee recipes lately.  It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.  I’ve been in the kitchen experimenting, and I thought I’d share one of my new favorites.  It also happens to fit the season, but I could enjoy this drink any time of year.  It’s easy to make and doesn’t require an expresso machine or a culinary genius (if I can make it anyone can).

Ingredients:

3 cups hot whole milk

4 teaspoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla syrup

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

6 ounces double-strength brewed Guilt Free Bold coffee

3 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream

3 pinches pumpkin pie spice

Preparation:

  1. Warm the milk - This is the secret step.  Heating the milk makes this a little sweeter.
  2. In a blender, mix the warm milk, sugar, vanilla syrup and pumpkin pie spice.  Blend until whipped and frothy.
  3. Pour the mix into 3 tall mugs.  Each should be filled about 2/3rds of the way full.
  4. Pour 2oz of double-strength coffee into each mug.
  5. Top with a tablespoon of whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice.
  6. Find two family members/friends to enjoy this with (or keep it all to yourself...).

That’s it.  Let me know what you think in the comments or on twitter @guiltfreedrinks .
