Equipment

handheld milk frother or mason jar
16-oz. glass or tumbler with a sip-top lid

Ingredients

8 oz. cold brew coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla syrup like Torani
Ice
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons lowfat milk 2% ideal, but whole or 1% will work too.
2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup homemade recommended (or use ingredients below)

For single serving of pumpkin spice syrup

2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoons maple syrup
¾ teaspoon pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

If making a single serving of pumpkin spice syrup for this recipe, combine all syrup ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl. Whisk until smooth with a fork or small whisk, and microwave for 30 seconds. Don't skip the heating or the pumpkin will taste raw and strange in your drink. Let it cool before adding it to your cold foam ingredients.
2 teaspoons water, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoons maple syrup, ¾ teaspoon pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Add 8 oz. cold brew coffee and 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup to a 16-oz. glass and add ice, leaving a couple inches at the top for pumpkin foam.
8 oz. cold brew coffee, 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup, Ice
Combine cream, milk, and pumpkin spice syrup (or ingredients listed) and froth until fluffy, creamy, and doubled in volume using your chosen method. (My preferred method is using a handheld electric milk frother, but you can also use a mason jar.) Make sure to stir or shake the pumpkin spice syrup well before using to recombine the puree throughout the syrup.
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons lowfat milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup
Pour pumpkin cream on top of the iced coffee. Enjoy immediately or sprinkle the top with an equal mixture of pumpkin pie spice and white sugar for an extra special presentation!

Notes

For storebought syrup: If using a storebought pumpkin spice syrup, consider reducing the amount to 1 tablespoon. Due to the inclusion of pumpkin puree in our homemade recipe, you need more syrup to equal the same sweetness as a puree-free flavored simple syrup.
