Notes
Homemade pumpkin pie spice: 1/4 tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp ginger, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, ⅛ tsp cloves.
*Espresso Substitute: To make, grind coffee beans and place 2 to 2 1/2 TBSP of coffee grounds in a small cup. Pour about ⅓ cup of hot water over the grounds and let it steep for 3-4 minutes. Stir once during the steeping process. Then strain through a fine mesh strainer and use in recipe.
You can also use 1/2 cup of double strength coffee.
**Froth your milk: pouring into a French press and plunging the press up and down for 1-2 minutes.
Or place in a glass jar with a lid and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds. Oat froths the best for a non-dairy milk.
Replace all the sugar with 1/4 cup maple syrup for a naturally sweetened drink.
