Tips & Variations
- Use quality coffee – A good cold brew or strong coffee makes all the difference in flavor.
- Whisk the pumpkin well. Pumpkin purée can be thick, so mix it well to get rid of lumps.
- Make it sweeter by changing the amount of caramel and maple syrup to your liking.
- Make it extra frothy – Use a milk frother to blend everything smoothly.
- Chill your glass – A cold glass keeps your iced coffee from getting watered down too fast.
- No cold brew? Make coffee hot, then put it in the fridge to cool.
- Dairy-free? Use almond, oat, or coconut milk instead of cow’s milk.
- Sugar-free? Use a sugar substitute and sugar-free caramel.
- Extra fancy? Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra fall vibes.
Storage and Serving
This drink is best enjoyed fresh!
If you want to prep ahead, mix the pumpkin caramel base and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just stir it into coffee when ready.
