Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or 2%/oat milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey as alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee into a serving glass and add ice cubes to fill about two-thirds of the glass. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Whisk or stir the mixture briefly to combine ingredients evenly until smooth.
- Froth the pumpkin milk blend using a milk frother for 20-30 seconds until it doubles in volume and forms a thick, creamy foam. If using a French press, pump the plunger briskly for about 45 seconds.
- Gently spoon or pour the cold foam over the iced cold brew coffee to create a layered effect.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use cold milk for better froth. Freshly ground pumpkin pie spice enhances flavor. Froth the foam right before serving to keep it fresh and fluffy. Whole milk or oat milk produces richer foam. Leftover foam can be refrigerated up to 24 hours but may lose frothiness. Cold brew coffee can be prepped ahead and stored up to a week refrigerated.
