Notes
If you've hosting a Harry Potter party, we recommend also serving Butterbeer, chocolate frogs, every flavor beans and pumpkin pasties. This recipe is perfect for birthdays, Halloween parties or the kids table at Thanksgiving!
We love this recipe served on ice. If you want to try a warmed version, heat it on the stovetop to a simmer on medium heat (not to a boil) and enjoy it in a mug.
If you don't want to stir for several minutes, you can take a shortcut and use a blender to combine your ingredients.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can substitute with half cinnamon and half allspice.
Can you make this recipe ahead? Yes, this can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to 48 hours before serving.
