What’s in an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte? Ingredients
The Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is truly a concoction of flavors and textures. The classic drink is made up of Pumpkin Spice Creamer and a shot or two of expresso.
Espresso or Strong Coffee: This forms the base of the drink, lending it a strong, rich coffee flavor. Pumpkin Puree: Real pumpkin puree adds an authentic pumpkin flavor and a creamier texture. Pure, unseasoned canned puree is the best choice if you can’t make a fresh puree. Pumpkin Spices: This spice mix, containing cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, brings warmth and a cozy, festive flavor. You can either make your own or use a store bought mix. Milk or cream: Milk helps mellow out the coffee’s intensity and adds a creamy texture. I am using condensed milk but you can use either heavy cream, half and half, or a plant based milk if you prefer. Maple Syrup: If you are not using a sweetened milk, then this adds a natural sweetness that balances and complements the other flavors. Ice: Ice helps chill the drink. You can make coffee ice cubes in advance to prevent diluting your flavorful concoction.

First by adding milk or cream of your choice to a mason jar. NNext add the pumpkin puree, followed by the pumpkin spice mix. Mix the ingredients in the jar using a spoon. Or simply just close the mason jar and shake it well. Then using a sieve, strain the mixture. Sieving is optional as but I find that sieving helps smoothen the texture of the pumpkin spice creamer. Your pumpking spice creamer is ready.
