A smooth and velvety pumpkin spice cold brew coffee concentrate that balances creamy richness with bold coffee flavor, perfect for cozy fall mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold brew coffee concentrate
  • ½ cup (120 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (full-fat; substitute coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup (or honey/agave nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: A pinch of ground cloves or allspice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cold brew coffee concentrate by steeping 1 cup (85 g) coarsely ground coffee in 4 cups (960 ml) cold water for 12 to 24 hours in the fridge, then strain.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk or blend ½ cup pumpkin puree with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; taste and adjust sweetness.
  4. Pour 2 cups cold brew concentrate into the pumpkin mixture and whisk or blend until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Slowly add ½ cup heavy cream while whisking to create a creamy, velvety texture.
  6. Adjust sweetness and spices as needed; add a splash of cold water or milk if too thick.
  7. Transfer the concentrate to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld.
  8. Serve diluted with equal parts milk or water over ice; garnish with cinnamon stick or cinnamon powder if desired.

Notes

Use freshly ground spices for best flavor. Chill concentrate overnight for optimal taste and texture. Use cold brew concentrate for smooth, low-acid flavor; avoid regular brewed coffee to prevent bitterness. Store in glass containers for freshness. Dilute concentrate 1:1 with milk or water when serving. Can freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
