Ingredients - Homemade Whipped Cream
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 T. real maple syrup

3 T. cinnamon
1 T. ground ginger
1 T. ground nutmeg

1 T. pumpkin pie spice
16 oz. freshly brewed hot coffee
1/2 t. rum extract
1 c. half & half

Directions
In a large glass bowl, blend 1 pint of heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or immersion blender until it doubles in size and changes texture. Then, drizzle maple syrup into the bowl and continue blending until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.
Combine the pumpkin pie spice ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
Before brewing, sprinkle fresh coffee grounds with one tablespoon pumpkin pie spice and gently shake to evenly combine the mixture. Brew spiced coffee grounds as usual. Add rum extract to the coffee.
Pour 2 oz. half & half into each cup, if using, and top with 4 oz. of freshly brewed coffee. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice before serving.
