The Story Behind the Recipe

I’m a pumpkin coffee fiend. There’s just something about that first cozy, fragrant sip of pumpkin spice coffee that just brings me firmly into autumn mode.

I especially love iced pumpkin spice coffee drinks for when the September days are warm, but fall is in the air. I’ve created recipes for a dairy-free pumpkin cream cold brew coffee, pumpkin spice iced coffee, and a dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer, along with a more general pumpkin spice syrup that turns any cup of coffee into a sip of fall.

For this pumpkin coffee drink, I wanted to create a super simple and easy pumpkin iced latte recipe. No brewing up a separate syrup, no blenders … just an easy iced pumpkin spiced latte that goes from idea to sipping in just a few minutes.

I took the idea that I also use in my Iced Matcha Latte recipe – a mason jar, a lid, and some shaking – and developed an iced pumpkin spice latte that, in my opinion, nails it!

Why You’ll Love This Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte

  • One dish – No need to dirty a blender or a pan. Instead, this iced pumpkin spice latte is made right in a mason jar! Then just plop in a straw and you’re ready to drink.
  • Just a few minutes to make – For me, the thing that takes the longest is brewing the espresso in my little stovetop espresso maker. From there it’s just a matter of chilling the coffee and mixing everything together.
ingredients for Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Ingredients

  • Espresso – You’ll want a couple of shots of your favorite espresso. If you don’t have espresso beans or a brewer on hand, you can use strong coffee instead.
  • Ice
  • Milk – I’m partial to oat milk in my iced pumpkin spice latte. It’s super rich and creamy! But you can use whichever milk you prefer, from dairy milk to almond, soy, oat, or hemp.
  • Pumpkin puree – We don’t go crazy with the pumpkin here; instead, just a tablespoon is all that’s needed to add some color and flavor. Plus, we’ve gotta have real pumpkin in our pumpkin spice iced latte!
  • Pure maple syrup – I really like using maple syrup because I don’t have to worry about little grains of sugar needing to dissolve (like with granulated sugar). That said, you can totally use plain sugar instead. Just keep in mind it’ll need a bit of time to dissolve.
  • Vanilla – A touch of pure vanilla extract adds a mellow sweetness. If you prefer a product without alcohol, you can use vanilla beans, powder, or a paste.
  • Pumpkin pie spice – I’ve found that in this iced pumpkin spice latte recipe, a little pumpkin spice goes a long way. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make pumpkin pie spice at home, or use a large pinch of ground cinnamon along with smaller pinches of ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Salt – Just a pinch of fine sea salt helps to highlight and round out the sweetness. Trust me!

How to Make This Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte

  1. Brew your espresso and let it cool for a few minutes, until no longer steaming.
  2. Pour the espresso into a mason jar. Add some of the ice, screw on the top, and shake vigorously (but carefully!) until the outside of the jar is cold and the coffee has cooled down.
  3. Add the milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, spices, and the pinch of salt.
  4. Screw the lid back on and shake, shake, shake until everything is homogenous and the mixture has gotten somewhat foamy.
  5. Add the rest of the ice – more or less as desired.
  6. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Add a straw and drink in the fall goodness!

Tips for Success

  • For a less watered-down pumpkin spiced iced latte, make some coffee ice cubes in advance, then thank me later!
  • If you don’t have a mason jar, you can use a cocktail shaker to get the latte nice and cold. If you don’t have either, just stir it really, really well. The idea is to get it nice and cold and to get the spices and pumpkin blended in super well so your pumpkin spice iced latte is super creamy and delicious.

I hope this Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte brings you so much fall joy! I just love the coziness that fall brings, and coffee is already inherently cozy, so iced pumpkin spiced latte = off the charts autumn perfection! 🎃
