Pumpkin Chai Tea
(it sounds complicated but it's not & so worth it)
2 cups filtered water
1 tablespoon fresh ginger {about 1 inch chunk} peeled, grated/finely minced
2 tablespoons cinnamon chips or 1 stick cinnamon
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 teaspoon cloves
2 black peppercorns
¾ cup homemade pumpkin puree or pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons honey
3 cups nutmilk or full fat coconut milk

In a medium-size saucepan, add water and bring to a boil.
Peel ginger and grate with a microplane or standing grater.
Combine cinnamon chips (broken pieces of cinnamon stick), fennel seed, cloves and peppercorns in a small bowl.
Add grated ginger and spices to the boiling water. Remove from heat, COVER and let steep for 25-30 minutes (30 minutes = an infusion, meaning you will get full nutritional properties from the spices).
When tea is almost done steeping, add pumpkin puree, honey and milk to the blender. Pulse or puree to blend.
Strain tea into blender. Carefully pulse to combine, the blender will be more than halfway full, so be very careful blending (otherwise the liquid will overflow).
Pour back into the saucepan and heat over low heat to desired temperature.
Serve hot. NOTE: If you prefer a super smooth consistency (no pumpkin puree "pulp"), strain before drinking.

In my younger days I loved going to our club for halloween costume night. I have plenty of pictures and loved every minute. I can honestly say I never mised a halloween but when the club closed I never bothered to check out another one. Yes, I did win many trophies for costume and miss it terribly. My favorite time of year, autumn and its colors and Halloween the best holiday for me and my friends ever.

I love Halloween! It used to be all about dressing up and going to parties. But nowadays it’s about my grandchildren! I can’t wait to find out what they’re going to be for Halloween this year. My oldest who is now nine has been wonder woman for the past four years because she loves her so much. Last year the littlest one who is now seven, was Medusa.
