Ingredients

Scale

Cold Brew Coffee Base

  • Coarsely ground coffee beans (for making cold brew)
  • Cold water (for steeping coffee)

Pumpkin Spice Mixture

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

To Serve

  • Ice cubes
  • Milk or milk alternative (dairy, oat, or almond milk), about 1/2 cup per serving
  • Optional garnish: ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick, whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew: Coarsely grind your coffee beans and steep them in cold water for 12 to 24 hours. After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh or coffee filter to obtain smooth cold brew coffee.
  2. Mix the Pumpkin Spice Base: In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice blend, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended to create a rich, aromatic pumpkin syrup.
  3. Combine Coffee and Pumpkin Mixture: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in the cold brew coffee, and stir in the pumpkin spice mixture until evenly mixed.
  4. Add Milk: Top the drink with your preferred milk or milk alternative, stirring gently to add creaminess and balance to the flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, add a cinnamon stick, or top with whipped cream sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh cold brew for the smoothest, most vibrant coffee flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually, tasting as you go to find your preferred balance.
  • Keep both the coffee and milk well chilled before mixing for optimal refreshment.
  • Consider making your own pumpkin spice blend for fresher flavor and custom proportions.
  • Freeze cold brew into ice cubes to chill your drink without dilution.
