 Instructions

1. Make the pumpkin mix:

In a small cup or jar, whisk together the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt until smooth. This creates a creamy pumpkin base that blends perfectly into your drink.

2. Add the espresso or coffee:

Pour in the espresso shots (or cooled strong coffee). Stir or shake well to combine.

3. Add milk and ice:

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in your milk of choice, then add the pumpkin-coffee mixture over it.

4. Stir and serve:

Give it a quick stir, taste, and adjust sweetness or spice if needed.

5. Add the finishing touch:

Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for that picture perfect fall vibe.

Tips for the Perfect Iced Pumpkin Latte

  • Make it stronger: Use cold brew or an extra shot of espresso for bold flavor.
  • Keep it dairy free: Oat milk and coconut milk make it extra creamy.
  • For a hot version: Skip the ice, heat your milk, and whisk everything together in a small pot.

 Pro Tip

Make a double batch of the pumpkin base (pumpkin + syrup + spice + vanilla) and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Then, just add coffee and milk when you need your pumpkin fix!

 FAQs

Is pumpkin spice gluten free?

Yes! Most pumpkin spice blends are naturally gluten-free — just check the label to make sure there’s no added flour or fillers.

Can I make it sugar free?

Absolutely. Swap maple syrup for monk fruit syrup or stevia to keep it low-calorie.

How long can I store it?

Once mixed, it’s best enjoyed fresh. You can refrigerate the pumpkin mix separately and combine later.
