Can I use canned pumpkin in my coffee?

Yes! Pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling) adds great flavor and texture.

How do I make my own pumpkin pie spice?

Combine 4 parts cinnamon, 2 parts ginger, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part cloves. Add allspice or cardamom for extra depth.

Can I make pumpkin coffee in a regular coffee pot?

Absolutely! Brew your coffee as normal, then stir in your pumpkin mixture. For best results, blend the pumpkin with a small amount of hot coffee first to avoid clumping.

Is pumpkin coffee actually healthy?

When made at home with real ingredients, pumpkin coffee can include beneficial nutrients from the pumpkin like vitamin A and fiber. Watch the added sugars and heavy cream to keep it on the healthier side.
