Notes

Instead of pumpkin puree, you can use sweet potato puree instead.

Instead of brown sugar, use coconut sugar instead to keep the drink refined sugar free. Maple syrup also works.

Make the syrup in a pot on the stove. Add syrup ingredients plus a few teaspoons of water and stir into a slurry. Don't burn.
