c# - How would I run an async Task method synchronously?

I'm learning about async/await, and ran into a situation where I need to call an async method synchronously. How can I do that?

Async method:

public async Task GetCustomers()
{
    return await Service.GetCustomersAsync();
}

Normal usage:

public async void GetCustomers()
{
    customerList = await GetCustomers();
}

I've tried using the following:

Task task = GetCustomers();
task.Wait()
Task task = GetCustomers();
task.RunSynchronously();
Task task = GetCustomers();
while(task.Status != TaskStatus.RanToCompletion)

I also tried a suggestion from here, however it doesn't work when the dispatcher is in a suspended state.

public static void WaitWithPumping(this Task task)
{
        if (task == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(“task”);
        var nestedFrame = new DispatcherFrame();
        task.ContinueWith(_ => nestedFrame.Continue = false);
        Dispatcher.PushFrame(nestedFrame);
        task.Wait();
}

Here is the exception and stack trace from calling RunSynchronously:

System.InvalidOperationException

Message: RunSynchronously may not be called on a task unbound to a delegate.

InnerException: null
