Heat pumpkin and spices:
In a small saucepan over medium heat cook pumpkin with pumpkin pie spice and a generous helping of black pepper for 2 minutes or until it's hot and smells cooked. Stir constantly.
Stir in the sugar:
Add sugar and stir until mixture looks like a bubbly thick syrup.
Warm milk:
Whisk in milk and vanilla extract. Warm gently over medium heat, watching carefully to make sure it doesn't boil over.
Blend milk:
Carefully process milk mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender (hold lid down tightly with a thick wad of towels!) until frothy and blended.
Mix drinks:
Make espresso or coffee and divide between two mugs and add the frothed milk. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg if desired.
