Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Recipe

Nothing says, "It's autumn!" like the arrival of pumpkin drinks at Starbucks and all pumpkin everything at Trader Joe's. While the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks have grown more in more in popularity over the years, it wasn't until last year that I tried and fell in love with the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

What I didn’t love was how costly it is and how much sugar is in a 16 oz Grande serving. Now with quarantine, I want to leave my house as little as possible but still want to enjoy that festive fall flavor. So I created this super easy to make (no milk frother needed!) Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew using just three ingredients, four if you count the ice. 

Not only is this Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew delicious, it has less than 10 grams of sugar in 16 oz (compared to Starbucks’ 31 grams). 

Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp pumpkin butter, preferably the one from Trader Joe's*
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2/3 cup cold brew of choice
• ​Ice

Directions:

1. In a large cup, mix together pumpkin butter and milk until smooth.
2. Add in the cold brew.
3. Top off with ice.
4. Stir and enjoy. If you want to get extra fancy, dip the rim of your glass in water and garnish with cinnamon sugar.

*If you are craving a pumpkin spice cold brew when it's not pumpkin season (or it's too difficult to find pumpkin butter), an easy solution is to replace the pumpkin butter in the recipe with pumpkin spice simple syrup. Omit the pumpkin puree if it's not available or easily accessible.
