Ingredients

Scale

Cold Brew Coffee Base

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee

Pumpkin Spice Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup, brown sugar, or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Creamy Addition

  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy milk)

Optional Garnishes

  • Sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Dollop of whipped cream
  • Cinnamon stick for stirring

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cold Brew Base: Start with your favorite cold brew coffee, either store-bought or homemade, poured into a glass or jar. Cold brew has a smooth, rich flavor perfect for balancing pumpkin spice additives.
  2. Mix Pumpkin and Spices: In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree with pumpkin spice blend, sweetener, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Slowly whisk the pumpkin mixture into the cold brew coffee until fully incorporated. This infusion brings the creamy pumpkin flavor into the coffee without overwhelming it.
  4. Add Milk and Stir: Pour in your preferred milk or milk alternative to add creaminess and round out the texture. Stir gently to blend the layers without disturbing the cold brew’s smoothness.
  5. Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour your Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew over the ice. Give it a final stir, garnish if desired, and enjoy right away for maximum freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use quality cold brew coffee for the best flavor balance.
  • Whisk the pumpkin mixture thoroughly before combining with coffee to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust sweetness at the end to suit your taste, as sweeteners vary in intensity.
  • Keep milk and coffee chilled beforehand to maintain a refreshing cold temperature.
  • Prepare the pumpkin spice blend in bulk to save time during the fall season.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours; stir before serving.
  • Avoid freezing to maintain texture and flavor consistency.
  • For a warm variation, gently heat the drink over low heat, stirring constantly.
