This pumpkin spice cold brew is a creamy, refreshing coffee drink with cozy fall flavor. It combines smooth cold brew with pumpkin, spices, and a touch of sweetness for an easy café-style treat at home.
In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold water. Stir gently to make sure all grounds are saturated.
Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 16 hours to steep.
Strain the cold brew through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, or use a cold brew filter, until the liquid is clear.
In a small bowl or blender, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin spice syrup or maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in the cold brew, leaving room for the pumpkin mixture.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the glass and stir or shake until well combined.
Top with whipped cream if desired and finish with a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.
Notes
For a stronger coffee flavor, steep the cold brew closer to 16 hours. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup, and use oat milk for a dairy-free version.
