MICHELE'S PUMPKIN-SPICED BRAIN FOOD LATTE

• 1 standard brew of your favorite Nespresso coffee (Original or Vertuo), a double espresso press or substitute with 5 oz. strongly brewed French Press coffee.
• 2 Tbsp. MCT Oil
• 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage (I like Silk Coconut-Almond blend)
• 2 Squirts liquid Stevia sweetener
• A dash of B's Pumpkin Spice Blend (recipe below)
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

    2 teaspoons ground ginger

    2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

    1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice (optional)

    1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves.

    Mix the spices together in a small bowl and take a little whiff. 

    Store the mixture in a clean small jar or spice container.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Brew coffee.
2. While brewing warm coconut milk and add MCT oil.  Whisk together until blended. If you have a milk warmer/steamer device, use this to heat and combine the milk and oil.
3. Pour coffee into your favorite mug 3/4 full. Add warmed milk mixture to fill your cup.  
4. Sprinkle B's Pumpkin Spice Blend on top to garnish. 
5. Mix if you like or drink it in layers.

Enjoy!
