Ingredients in this iced pumpkin spice latte

This recipe has two components: the pumpkin spice syrup and the pumpkin spice cold foam. The syrup is cooked on the stove; the cold foam is whipped or frothed. Below are the ingredients for each component and for the coffee base.

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

• Coconut sugar: 1 cup — provides sweetness without granulated sugar.
• Pumpkin puree: 1/3 cup — gives the syrup its pumpkin flavor.
• Pumpkin pie spice: 1 tbsp — concentrates the warm spice notes.
• Oat milk: 1/2 cup — adds creaminess; use creamer if preferred.
• Water: 1/2 cup — thins and helps dissolve the sugar.
• Vanilla: 1 tsp — finishes and rounds the flavor.

Coffee Base

• Coffee: 1.5 cups — freshly brewed and chilled or hot, depending on whether you want iced or hot.

Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam

• Creamer: 1/4 cup — choose a creamer with thickening agents for dairy-free options; otherwise half & half works well.
• Pumpkin puree: 1/2 tbsp — a small amount adds pumpkin flavor to the foam.
• Pumpkin pie spice: 1/2 tsp — for spice in the foam.
• Maple syrup: 1 tbsp — sweetens and complements the pumpkin.
• Vanilla: 1/2 tsp — rounds the flavor.

How to make this iced pumpkin spice latte

This recipe satisfies pumpkin spice cravings and is straightforward to prepare.

1. Make the syrup: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, oat milk, and water. Whisk until blended.

2. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, and let the syrup cool for about 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar for storage.

3. Prepare the cold foam: Combine the creamer, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and vanilla in a frother or a jar. Froth or shake vigorously until the mixture becomes thick and foamy.

4. Assemble the latte: Add about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin syrup to a glass. Fill the glass with ice, pour in 1.5 cups of coffee, and stir to combine. Spoon the pumpkin spice cold foam on top and serve.

Can I enjoy this as a hot latte?

Yes — make a hot version by omitting ice and using hot coffee. The cold foam will cool the surface slightly; if you prefer, skip the cold foam for a fully hot drink.

What to pair with a PSL

This pumpkin latte goes well with baked goods like coffee cake, pumpkin bread, cinnamon banana bread, or muffins. Choose a lightly spiced or nutty pastry to complement the latte’s warm flavors.
