Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (plain canned pumpkin)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (Grade A amber)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, combine 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk or shake vigorously until everything is well blended and smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen slightly.
- Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee into your serving glass.
- Pour the pumpkin spice syrup into the cold brew and stir gently to combine.
- Slowly add ½ cup (120 ml) of oat milk. Stir gently or swirl the glass to create a marbled effect before mixing fully.
- Fill the rest of the glass with ice cubes to your liking.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or spice by adding more syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately chilled.
Notes
Use fresh ground spices for best flavor. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey. For dairy-free, swap oat milk with almond, soy, or coconut milk. Pumpkin puree should be plain, not pumpkin pie filling. Make pumpkin spice syrup ahead and store refrigerated up to 5 days. Cold brew coffee lasts 1-2 weeks refrigerated. Serve immediately after mixing for best taste. Warm syrup slightly for a hot version.
