Healthy and Fresh Pumpkin Juice in a glass with fresh pumpkin sliced on the side

Most people associate Pumpkin dishes or drinks with the Autumn/Fall Season. At this time of year, the weather gets colder, and we can see the trees turn from green to oranges, amber, and browns. This, for many people, is the season for all things Pumpkin Spice. This blend of spices was initially used to flavor Pumpkin Pies, an American staple around Thanksgiving. However, we hope to give you a chilled or warm beverage that’s everything we love about pumpkin and pumpkin spice with this recipe. Would you like a break from the sugary, caffeinated latte? Well, try our recipe for a very healthy and Fresh Pumpkin Juice.

Preheat the oven on 400 °F and place a rack on the middle shelf

Pumpkin Drink

Using a 3-quart saucepan, bring the water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, ginger, and nutmeg to a boil for 10-15 minutes.

Remove from the heat, cover, and allow to steep until cool.

Once the spice water mixture is cool, strain the spices and add them to a blender with the apple juice, peach nectar, pumpkin purée, and sugar, then mix to liquefy.

Taste for sweetness and add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Serve chilled with ice or warm with a little dollop of whipped cream on top, and enjoy.
