Pumpkin
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc
Sweetener such as honey, sugar, rapadura, etc
Milk
Vanilla
Directions: Cut open the pumpkin and remove all seeds and guts. Slice pumpkin into several small pieces. Fill a large pot with hot water and place pumpkin pieces in water. Boil until soft. Let pumpkin cool.
If outer shell is really tough you can remove it, or you can keep the shell on if you think it will blend well. Place as much of the pumpkin in the blender as possible (you may want to cut into smaller pieces) and blend with part of the water it was boiled in. The mixture will be thick.
Pour pumpkin mixture back into pot and bring to a boil with a cinnamon stick or two. You can add cloves or nutmeg as well if you like. Stir often. Add sweetener to taste. Add milk to your desired thickness. (The drink is meant to be somewhat thick).
Stir until milk/pumpkin have blended and drink has been heated through. Add a bit of vanilla, a 1/2 to 1 tsp. Serve warm.
