This Easy Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Latte is a quick and delicious copycat recipe that comes together in under 5 minutes. Made with real pumpkin puree and a homemade spice syrup, it’s the perfect fall treat without the drive-thru line.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree. Whisk together until the pumpkin is mostly dissolved.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Optionally, strain through a fine-mesh strainer for a smoother syrup. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  6. Pour in 1 cup cold brew coffee.
  7. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the pumpkin spice syrup.
  8. Pour in 1/4 cup whole milk.
  9. If using a mason jar or cocktail shaker, close the lid tightly and shake for about 10 seconds to aerate. Otherwise, stir vigorously with a spoon.
  10. Pour the mixture back into the glass (if shaken) and top with a drizzle of extra syrup or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Make the syrup ahead of time for quick assembly. Don’t boil the syrup vigorously to prevent crystallization. Shaking the latte is key for frothiness. Adjust sweetness to taste by starting with 2 tablespoons of syrup.
