Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is a chilled coffee drink made with espresso or strong coffee, milk, real pumpkin purée, warm fall spices, and a touch of maple syrup—served over ice for the perfect refreshing fall sip.
Equipment
- A jar or glass with a lid (for shaking)
- Measuring spoons
- A spoon or straw for stirring
- A tall glass for serving
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1 cup milk I like almond milk, but any kind works
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin purée
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Ice enough to fill your glass
- Whipped cream or cinnamon sticks optional, for topping
Instructions
Brew and Cool the Coffee:
- If you’re using brewed coffee, make it strong and let it cool completely (or make it the night before and store in the fridge).
Shake or Stir the Latte Base:
- In a jar or glass, add the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Shake it like crazy until well mixed. (Or stir really well.)
Add the Coffee:
- Pour the cooled coffee into your jar or directly into your serving glass. Stir again to combine.
Add Ice:
- Fill your glass with ice to the top.
Top and Serve:
- If you’re feeling extra, add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. Sip and enjoy!
Notes
If your pumpkin purée is thick, you can blend the mixture or warm it slightly before shaking. This helps everything combine better and gives a smoother texture.
