Ingredients
Pumpkin Spice Mixture
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla
- 1 strong espresso coffee (about 30 ml)
Milk Base
- 250 ml milk (or plant-based drink)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill a tall glass)
Whipped Cream Topping
- 100 ml cold liquid cream (full-fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon icing sugar
- Ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, liquid vanilla, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly incorporated.
- Add Espresso: Pour in the strong espresso coffee and stir well. Blend if necessary to achieve a smooth, homogeneous texture.
- Chill Mixture: Place the spiced pumpkin coffee mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to cool completely, ensuring the flavors meld and the mixture is chilled before serving.
- Assemble Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour the chilled pumpkin spice mixture over the ice.
- Add Milk: Pour the cold milk or plant-based drink into the glass with the spiced mixture and gently stir with a spoon or straw to combine.
- Whip Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the cold full-fat liquid cream together with the icing sugar until it forms a smooth, slightly thickened texture suitable for topping.
- Finish and Serve: Spoon or pour the whipped cream over the top of the latte and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on the whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy your iced pumpkin spice latte.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk and substitute the cream with coconut cream.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to your preference.
- Espresso can be replaced with strong brewed coffee if an espresso maker is not available.
- For a stronger spice flavor, increase the amount of ground cinnamon and nutmeg slightly.
- Whipped cream can be skipped or replaced with dairy-free alternatives if desired.
