How do I add a gradient to the text of a UILabel, but not the background?

I was looking for a solution and DotSlashSlash has the answer hidden in one of the comments!

For the sake of completeness, the answer and the simplest solution is:

UIImage *myGradient = [UIImage imageNamed:@"textGradient.png"];
myLabel.textColor   = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:myGradient];
