This easy iced pumpkin spice latte combines espresso, real pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and your choice of milk. It is creamy, adjustable, and ready in just 5 minutes—no coffee-shop trip required.
Add the espresso, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a mug or jar.
Froth until smooth, or seal the jar and shake vigorouslyuntil thoroughly combined.
Add the milk to a separate mug or jar and froth until foamy.
Add ice cubes to a large glass, then pour the espresso mixture over the ice.
Pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture.
If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately and stir again if the pumpkin or spices begin to settle.
Notes
Two shots of espresso are about 2 ounces. If you don’t have an espresso maker, you can also make espresso with instant espresso mixed with hot water. You can also use strong brewed coffee.
This is a moderately sweetened iced latte. If you like your drinks sweeter, add a tablespoon of maple syrup.
I like to use maple syrup in this recipe or another liquid sweetener because it combines easily with the other liquid ingredients. Granulated sweeteners like white sugar, brown sugar, etc., don’t combine as easily with milk.
Use unsweetened pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling, which already contains added sweeteners.
This recipe makes one large iced latte. You can easily double or triple this recipe as needed.
Instead of the pumpkin, vanilla, spice, and syrup in this recipe, use 2-3 tablespoons of our homemade Pumpkin Syrup.
