Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (240 ml) freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso (medium roast recommended)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup (adjust to taste)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Make the pumpkin spice syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer (about 5 minutes). Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, stirring well. Let it simmer gently for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool completely before using.
- Brew your coffee: Prepare 8 oz (240 ml) of strong coffee or espresso. Pour over a glass filled with ice cubes.
- Prepare the cold foam: In a blender or milk frother, combine ½ cup (120 ml) milk with 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup. Blend or froth on high speed for 30-45 seconds until thick and creamy foam forms. If using a jar, shake vigorously for about 1 minute until frothy.
- Assemble your drink: Pour the pumpkin spice syrup (about 2 tablespoons, or adjust to taste) over the iced coffee. Gently spoon or pour the cold foam on top, creating a layered look. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the foam for garnish if desired.
- Serve immediately: Sip with a straw or spoon to enjoy the creamy foam mingling with the spiced coffee underneath.
Notes
Use whole milk for the creamiest foam or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Cool the syrup completely before using to prevent foam from melting. Avoid over-blending the foam to keep it smooth and creamy. Syrup can be stored refrigerated up to 2 weeks. For a vegan version, substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup and use plant-based milk.
