How To Make Pumpkin Cold Foam Coffee

Step 1: Make the cold brew coffee
The night before, add coffee grounds and water to a French press. Push the plunger down enough to cover the coffee grounds in the water. Refrigerate overnight for at least 12 hours.

Step 2: Pour the iced coffee
The next day, press the coffee grounds to the bottom and pour the cold brew coffee into a tall glass until ready to use.

Step 3: Make the pumpkin cold foam
To make the cold foam, add all the pumpkin foam ingredients in a blender and pulse for about 30 seconds. It should be thick and creamy. A hand frother or mixer can be used as well.

Step 4: Fill the glass with cold brew
Next, fill a tall glass or jar with 3/4 full of ice and pour in the cold brew coffee (or just strong black coffee). Mix in one tablespoon of maple syrup. You can adjust the amount of syrup to your desired level of sweetness.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
Finally, top with about 1/2 of the cold foam. Sprinkle with a dash of pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) and serve.

How To Store Leftover Cold Foam Coffee

Store: The coffee can be stored for up to a month in the fridge, but the leftover pumpkin cream will last for about a week. Keep the coffee and cold foam covered in an airtight container.

Cold Foam Coffee Recipe Tips

• You can use a handheld milk frother to mix all of the ingredients in a glass or jar. This takes a bit longer, but you get more fluffy foam.
• If you do not have a blender, food processor, or frother, simply put the ingredients into a cup or jar with a lid and shake thoroughly for 30 seconds.
• If you have an espresso machine that has a built-in steam wand, that will work just as well as a frother.
• Keep leftover cream in the fridge in a mason jar or container with a lid until you are ready for the next glass of pumpkin cream cold brew.
• You can use the pumpkin cream from this recipe as a regular coffee creamer. Pour it into any coffee drink or even a cup of tea.
• Shorten prep time by using pumpkin pie filling instead of the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk.
