Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice plus more for garnish
- 2 ounces heavy cream
- 1 ounce 2% milk
- 1 cup cold brew for serving
Instructions
- Add brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, water, and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan and whisk together.
- Cook over medium heat until the mixture reaches a boil, about 3 - 4 minutes. Once boiling, cook for an additional 60 seconds, stirring frequently, to allow the mixture to thicken.
- Allow pumpkin syrup to cool in the saucepan, then transfer to a cleaned reusable bottle and seal tightly with a lid. Place in the refrigerator overnight to completely cool.
- Add heavy cream, 2% milk, and 1 ounce of pumpkin syrup to a high powdered blender. Blend for 45 seconds until a thick foam has formed.
- To serve, add ice to a serving glass along with cold brew coffee, and additional pumpkin syrup or maple syrup to taste to sweeten. Top with pumpkin cold foam mixture and optionally sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.

Notes
The pumpkin syrup yields ¾ cup (6 ounces), which is enough for 6 drinks. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 - 14 days to make pumpkin cold foam for your coffee throughout the week.
Don't combine the pumpkin syrup with the milk and cream while it's still hot. This will cause the cold foam to curdle.
If you don't have a blender, you can also hand whisk the mixture for 1 minute until you've achieved a thick foam. A milk frother also works in a pinch, but the cold foam will not be as thick.
