Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee
This pumpkin spice coffee is ideal when you haven't the time to go to Starbucks or don't have an espresoo maker! Plus once you have the initial ingredients, you'll save a ton of money by making your own pumpkin coffee.
Recipe For Pumpkin Spice Coffee
Ingredients: (makes 2 cups)
2 cups milk
2½ tsp instant espresso powder
1 tbsp honey or agave nectar (or more if you like it sweeter)
1½ tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Directions: In a small saucepan mix all the ingredients together. Over a medium heat, simmer your coffee mixture for a few minutes. I usually let it simmer for 5-6 minutes whilst stirring occasionally.
That's it super easy, and super tasty.
Pour and enjoy!

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Recipe
You can use canned or freshly cooked pumpkin in my pumpkin pie recipes. I prefer fresh, but the choice is yours.
I do strongly recommend you make your own pumpkin pie spices to take your pie to a whole new level of taste!
Ingredients:
1 x 9 inch unbaked pastry shell
2 eggs
1 cup canned or pre-cooked pumpkin (page 2)
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (plain)
1 tbsp pumpkin spice (see pages 3, 4 or 5)
1 cup evaporated milk
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Directions: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Beat the eggs. Combine the pumpkin, milk, salt, flour, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Mix in the eggs, and if using, the nuts, and pour into the pastry shell.
Place in your oven and cook for 40-45 minutes.
Let cool and garnish with a little whipped cream.
