Homemade cold brew is easier than you think. It’s a pumpkin drink that is not too overwhelming and it’s a recipe that pumpkin spice fans will love.

FAQs:

1. Can I use hot brew coffee instead? Yes, you can, but it won’t be as smooth as a cold brew. If you go this route, ensure your coffee cools down before adding the other ingredients.

2. Can I make it dairy-free? Absolutely! You can use non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or soy milk and a dairy-free whipped cream for topping.

3. Can I use store-bought pumpkin spice? Of course! However, making your own allows you to customize the spice levels to your liking.

Tips and Tricks:

1. When making cold brew coffee, remember it’s a slow process. For the best results, let the coffee steep in the fridge for at least 12-24 hours.
2. Mix the pumpkin spice in with the milk before adding to the cold brew to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
3. For a super frothy topping, use a milk frother or whip your cream vigorously.

Pumpkin spice cold brew coffee is one of those drinks that is great with so many yummy treats like an apple scone or this amazing Starbucks copycat Pumpkin Bread.

Variations:

1. Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte: Replace the cold brew with a shot of espresso for a stronger coffee flavor.
2. Pumpkin Spice Mocha Cold Brew: Add a spoonful of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.
3. Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew: Use a non-dairy milk, maple syrup as a sweetener, and a dairy-free whipped cream.

Where to Serve:

This Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew is the perfect companion for a crisp fall morning, an afternoon pick-me-up, or an evening dessert drink. It’s also an excellent choice for brunch gatherings or a coffee date at home. Pair it with a slice of pumpkin bread or a cinnamon scone to truly embrace the season.

How Do you Make This Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew?

1. Combine the coffee and water in a large pitcher. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
2. After chilling, pour the coffee through a coffee filter to strain out the coffee grounds. I used a canning funnel to hold the filter in place.
3. Make the pumpkin cream by combining the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and sugar. Use a milk frother or hand mixer to mix the ingredients until frothy.
4. Fill a glass with ice and pour the coffee until the cup is around ¾ full. Fill the remainder of the glass with pumpkin cream and stir to mix.

You will easily feel like you just placed an order at your local coffee shop. When it comes to recreating your favorite starbucks recipes the best part is that you can make the real thing at home too!

Storage:

The cold brew coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. However, once you’ve added the milk and pumpkin spice, it’s best to consume it within a day or two. Keep the whipped cream separate until you’re ready to serve.

Common Problems and How to Avoid Them:

1. Weak Coffee: If your cold brew is too weak, it could be that the coffee wasn’t steeped long enough, or the coffee-to-water ratio was off. Aim for a 1:8 ratio of coffee to water and steep for at least 12-24 hours.
2. Grainy Texture: If your beverage feels grainy, it could be the spices not dissolving properly. Mix the pumpkin spice with a bit of hot water before adding to the milk to ensure it dissolves.
3. Lack of Pumpkin Flavor: If the pumpkin flavor is too subtle, feel free to increase the amount of pumpkin spice or add a spoonful of pumpkin puree.
