Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 2 cups Apple cider
• 1.5 cups Whole milk (or plant-based milk)
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0 as needed Whipped cream (vegetarian-friendly, optional)
• 0 as needed Cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, and milk over medium heat. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the spices and sugar evenly.

Step 3

Continue heating the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling (approximately 8-10 minutes). Do not let it boil, as this may cause the milk to curdle.

Step 4

Once the mixture is heated through, taste and adjust the sweetness or spices to your liking by adding more sugar or spices if desired.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully ladle the Pumpkin Apple Nog into mugs or heatproof glasses.

Step 6

Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall and winter!
