Fall Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee

  • Author: Elena
  • Total Time: 18 hours
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A creamy, spiced, and affordable homemade cold brew coffee that tastes like a café pumpkin spice latte but costs pennies to make. This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients and can be prepared in advance for easy weekday mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coarse coffee grounds (dark roast preferred)
  • 4 cups cold filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or oat milk
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey/brown sugar)
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup of coarse coffee grounds and 4 cups of cold water in a large jar or pitcher. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
  2. Cover the jar and refrigerate for 12-24 hours (18 hours is ideal) to steep.
  3. Strain the coffee through a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or fine-mesh strainer into a clean pitcher. Do not squeeze the bag to avoid bitterness.
  4. Store the plain cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  5. To serve, mix 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl to form a smooth paste.
  6. Fill a glass with ice and pour in 1 cup of cold brew base.
  7. Add the pumpkin spice paste to the coffee and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and the drink is a uniform color.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup milk (or oat milk) and 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup.
  9. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use coarse grind coffee to prevent bitterness and muddy texture. Always create a spice paste with the pumpkin puree first to prevent clumping. The cold brew base can be stored for up to 2 weeks. Do not freeze the mixed drink with pumpkin puree as it will separate.
