Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or simple syrup), adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, oat, or preferred milk)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cold Brew Coffee: Brew cold brew coffee using coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for at least 12 hours to achieve a smooth, bold base.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Spice Blend: Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl. Adjust ratios for preferred spice level.
  3. Combine Pumpkin Puree and Spices: Whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice blend, sweetener, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed to create a syrup-like base.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice, pour the cold brew coffee over the ice, and then add the pumpkin spice mixture. Stir well to integrate all flavors.
  5. Add Milk or Cream: Pour in milk or plant-based milk to your desired creaminess and stir gently. Adjust quantity to taste.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra fall flavor and serve immediately chilled.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground spices for the best flavor.
  • Use pumpkin puree sparingly to avoid overpowering the drink.
  • Add sweetener gradually to achieve optimal sweetness.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled before assembling to maintain a refreshing temperature.
  • Freeze extra cold brew coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution as ice melts.
