Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee recipe - Rich, creamy iced coffee spiked with the delicious, warm flavors of fall - pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg ... perfection. Vegan and non-refined-sugar options.

Originally published in 2012, I thought it was time to revisit this recipe. I took new photographs and updated the recipe in a few different ways. First, I accounted for dairy-free options. Second, I added a non-refined-sugar option. And last, I simplified the recipe – if you’d like to simmer whole spices as the original recipe called for, definitely do so! But an easier option is simply to add one teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice mix. Easy peasy. All versions, though? Delicious!

This is a fairly new blog, but my love for coffee is already solidly documented. I mean, it’s delicious, it’s versatile, and it gives you a good jolt. What more can a long-time caffeine addict (and sleep-deprived new mom) ask for?

Iced coffee is pretty much an obsession of mine. When March rolls around, it’s not spring that’s around the corner. It’s Iced Coffee Season, and I’m a happy bean. Conversely, when autumn closes in, I clutch my glass of iced coffee a bit tighter, not ready to let it go.
