Pumpkin Pie Cappuccino

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1. Combine about 4 ounces of light cream with 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, steam lightly.

STEP 2. Fill two heavy mugs about half full with your favorite coffee. Top each with steamed cream/spice mixture.

STEP 3. Garnish with whipped cream, a tiny sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and a candy corn. (You can be even more creative and add a touch of yellow and red food coloring to the cream before it is whipped to make it turn orange like a pumpkin!)

Hi Mai,

I experimented this weekend. I had company and can give them anything to try. I brewed a pot of coffee and put about 1/2 tsp of Pumpkin Pie spice in with the coffee grounds...(I use Mellita coffee).
Then I took some skim milk (about 1 cup) added about 1/2 tsp more of the PPS and about 1 tsp vanilla and sugar (to taste) and used my emulsion blender and it whipped up nice , thick and creamy. I topped the coffee with this and sprinkled some cinnamon on top. Wasn't bad. They liked it very much.

Give it a try. Arlene ;D

Hi Arlene!,

Found some additional hints and tips on the subject of flavored coffees and creamers... I have personally for a long time been shaking a few sprinkles of pumpkin pie spice in my instant coffee, for both the flavor and aroma... Prior to that, I had been just using some cinnamon. Hubby doesn't like anything but 'black with sugar' so I don't worry if his flavor experience is great anymore! LOL! I can't drink brewed coffee, as I get a really bad headache from them... Just one of those quirks in life! Hope some of these ideas from the web help!

Some Ideas to Save Money on Coffees and Creamers!

Before Brewing: Flavored coffee has flavoring added after roasting. Vanilla extract (or other flavoring) can be added to the grounds before brewing. I do recommend using good, fresh-roasted coffee. A pound of good coffee is not much more expensive than the cheap stuff, and, frankly, an excellent cup of coffee goes a long way toward making my day better. Cheap coffee is just a caffeine delivery system.

Check Ice Cream Cooler: A tablespoon's worth of ice cream (melted) will do the trick nicely. Try vanilla, chocolate, mocha, or butter pecan and maple walnut (strained to remove the nuts).

Just a Drop or Two of Extracts: A good option for flavored coffees is to flavor your own with the small bottles of flavorings you can purchase at upscale grocery stores. These little bottles are pricey, but since they are REAL EXTRACTS, not just artificial flavors, you only need a few drops to flavor a cup. I have found flavors from vanilla to orange, cherry, mocha, almond, etc. Again, these are extracts, not just flavorings.

Make Your Own Creamers: Why not experiment with the Lorien Oils used for making hard tack candy? They are around a dollar and usually in pharmacies. Or purchase flavoring (almond, pepperment, etc) where you buy Vanilla. I purchused a 12 oz. bottle of Irish Creme syrup at a local grocer's for about $3.50. It's lasted me nearly a year, and it's half full. Looking at the ingredients, it's: sugar, water, flavoring, a preservative, and carmel coloring. I would boil water and sugar to make the syrup, then add the flavored oil (to taste) and a few drops of food color to denote the flavor you've created.
Also, it's easy to add cinnamon to the coffee grounds before perking it. You could also add vanilla to the coffee after it perked. Flavored ice tea is great made this way!

Insider Tip: I used to work at a coffee shop and I have figured out that my favorite (Vanilla Cappuchino) is easily made using vanilla extract. I use 1 shot espresso, 1 cup milk (heated), 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla. For coffees I Use the opposite proportions of the coffee and creamer. (1 cup of coffee and 1 oz. creamer) You can also find many other extracts in the baking aisle. For any of the other extracts I suggest purchasing an inexpensive medicine dropper and starting with 5 drops in a glass. The amount you use will depend on your tastes and the strength of the oil. Do not assumme they are all the same strength. Some have a little more aroma and flavoring ability than others.

Hi, What a shame you can not drink brewed coffee.

These hints are great.. I was given quite a few of the extracts in all flavors and I have not really used them. I am thinking of one "Maple"...Just might try that in coffee. I have many different brands of vanilla. And that I will try too.

The other day a picked up Edys Ice cream...special edition...Pumpkin Spice. That would be great in some coffee...

Wow, you have me thinking of all the bottles in the closet that I haven't used.

Thanks so much. I'll let you know how I make out. ;D
