directions
for pumpkin pie spice
Make pumpkin spice: Lightly whisk together spice ingredients, reserve a small amount of the pumpkin spice for garnish.
for pumpkin foam
Make pumpkin foam: Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice and salt in a small saucepan and heat over low to medium heat, stirring often to dissolve sugar and prevent boiling. Turn off the heat as soon as the mixture begins to steam. Pour the mixture into a tempered glass and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Transfer the chilled milk mixture to a milk frother and froth.
for cold brew drink
Make drink: Pour the cold brew coffee (or iced coffee) into a glass; add ice. Drizzle pumpkin foam into the coffee and garnish with pumpkin pie spice.
tips
You can use unsweetened almond or oat milk in place of regular milk.
*If you don’t have a milk frother, use a blender set to the highest speed instead.
Ground cassia cinnamon's spicy, warm flavor and aroma star in many homespun fall and winter recipes. Cassia is dominant variety of cinnamon in America.
Ground allspice is highly aromatic and even more pungent than its whole counterpart. As its name suggests it is redolent of a mix of spices including clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and juniper.
