Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew
Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew is a refreshing fall coffee made with smooth cold brew, creamy pumpkin foam, real pumpkin puree, and warm pumpkin spice for the perfect balance of bold coffee and cozy autumn flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 cup milk of choice whole milk, half and half, cashew milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or almond milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream or half and half for a lighter option
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin Cream
- In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Heavy cream
- Milk
- Pumpkin puree
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Pumpkin spice
- Sea salt
- Whisk vigorously for about one minute until slightly thick and frothy. You can also use a milk frother for an extra creamy texture.
Step 2: Fill the Glass
- Add ice cubes to two serving glasses. Pour the cold brew coffee evenly between them.
Step 3: Add Pumpkin Cream
- Slowly spoon the pumpkin cream mixture over the cold brew. The cream will naturally float on top before mixing into the coffee.
Step 4: Garnish
- Dust with a little ground cinnamon or additional pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Homemade cold brew gives the best flavor.
- Shake or stir the pumpkin cream before each use.
- Add more pumpkin spice for stronger fall flavor.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or brown sugar syrup.
- Make a double batch of pumpkin cream for quick drinks all week.
- Use a handheld frother for café-style foam.
