Pumpkin Spice Steamers

Warm and foamy with just the right amount of spice. . . A perfect way to start or end to a fall day. The recipe is simple – milk, flavored syrup, a whisk (or handheld foamer) and a bit of whipped cream. While you can use nonfat milk – the higher the fat content, the more luscious the end product.

Ingredients
  

  • milk
  • Toriani Pumpkin Spice Syrup
  • Whipped cream optional – but not really
  • fresh grated nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Determine the amount you want to make – I usually figure 12 ounces of milk for an adult serving - 8 ounces is plenty for a child.
  • Pour milk into a saucepan. For each cup of milk, use 2-3 tablespoons of syrup (for 12 ounces, I like 4 tablespoons) – but suit to your taste. Stir to combine.
  • Place the pan over medium heat. If you want frothy milk, whisk constantly while the milk comes to temperature. If you just want flavored milk, stir occasionally – watching to make sure that the milk does not come to a boil.
  • Pour the warmed milk into mugs. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Enjoy.

Here’s what’s Happening on the Homestead

Spring.  Just the word congers up images of blossoms and bunnies, eggs and chicks. . . . and catalogs filled with tableware, linens and all the fresh spring color imaginable. . . . so when my spring edition of the Pier1 catalog arrived – I was immediately drawn to devour every page.  The dinnerware, table settings, linens were, in typical Pier1 form, a wonderful feast for the eyes. pier1-catalog-page

But, there was one thing that especially drew my attention. . .their adorable folded napkins – especially the little bunnies in the upper right corner of the page. The catalog directed readers to log on to their website for instructions  – which I immediately did.

Upon arriving at the page, I  searched for the Bunny Fold pier-one-bunny-ears-directionsand found this.   I grabbed some cloth napkins (which happened to be from Pier1) and, following their directions, began folding.  It only took me to the 4th step to figure out that there was a real problem with the directions – they were rolling from the wrong side of the napkin. . . and by the final step – it was unmistakable.

wrong-way-bunny-napkinI had created this.  I took an unfolded napkin and the directions to my husband – who, as a builder, reads instructions for a living  . . . and his response was immediate – these are not right.  They have rolled from the long side and not the point – and used directions for a granny knot.  It needs to be an ‘overhand’ knot.  (50 plus years of scouting – he should know his knots!)

After making a few simple changes – rolling from the point and using an overhand knot – the finished product looked like the one in the Pier1 picture.  Success!    folded-bunny-napkin-perfection

 And so, as much as I LOVE Pier1, no one is infallible.  I have done my own set of instructions, including pictorials, for your use should you be wanting to try these little treasures.  Such a simple way to dress up a spring  or Easter table.

Just Click Here to go to the instructions.  Happy Spring!

Enjoy,
