Ingredients
- Cold brew coffee
- Pumpkin cream cold foam
- Vanilla syrup
- Ice
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your cold brew coffee. If you don't have pre-made cold brew, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator. Once brewed, strain the coffee to remove the grounds, and set it aside.
- In a separate container, prepare the pumpkin cream cold foam. Combine heavy cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Use a milk frother or whisk to whip the mixture until it reaches a light and frothy consistency.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the cold brew and foam.
- Pour the cold brew coffee over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full. Adjust the amount based on your preference for strength.
- Add vanilla syrup to the cold brew, adjusting the sweetness to your liking. Stir gently to combine.
- Carefully spoon the pumpkin cream cold foam over the top of the cold brew, allowing it to float on the surface.
- Sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top of the pumpkin cream cold foam for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your homemade Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew!
Tips
- Choose Quality Coffee: For the best flavor, use high-quality coarsely ground coffee for your cold brew. The richer the coffee, the more robust your drink will be.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to suit your personal taste. Start with a little and add more if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Make Ahead: Prepare your cold brew coffee in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This way, you can whip up your Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew anytime you crave it!
- Pumpkin Puree Options: If you can't find pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting and blending fresh pumpkin. Just be sure to strain it for a smooth texture.
- Frothing Technique: If you don’t have a milk frother, you can whisk the pumpkin cream mixture vigorously by hand or use a jar with a tight lid to shake it until frothy.
- Presentation Matters: For an Instagram-worthy drink, layer the pumpkin cream cold foam gently on top of the cold brew and finish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add other spices like nutmeg or ginger to the pumpkin cream for an extra flavor kick! Enjoy crafting your own Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and embrace the cozy vibes of fall, one sip at a time!
