The first day of fall starts this week and I am so thankful to finally be able to fully indulge in my favorite fall drinks. I love a hot pumpkin spice latte or a warm cup of apple cider, as most people do, around this time of year. I blogged about my at-home pumpkin spice latte a few weeks ago, but this time around I am sharing an iced version that you can make at home with or without an espresso machine. I always use an espresso pot and frothing wand personally!
It’s still a little warm here, so this iced pumpkin spice latte is the perfect way to give me all the fall feels as we welcome a new season.
You can use any milk that you choose. I use either regular whole milk or oat milk. I based this recipe on whole milk for the nutrition notes, but oat milk is equally delicious.

Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
Iced pumpkin spice latte that can be at home with or without an espresso machine.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon spiced pure pumpkin puree *see note
- 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 espresso shot
- 1/2 cup choice of milk
- Ground cinnamon
- Ice
Instructions
- Make your espresso with your choice of an espresso blend. I don't have an espresso machine, so I use a Moka Pot to do this!
- In a small pot, melt your pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice on low heat.
- Once your espresso shot is ready, add that to the pot with the pumpkin mix.
- Let the mixture completely melt, stirring consistently.
- Once it's ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to slightly cool, then pour it over ice in your choice of glass or mug.
- Add 1/4 cup of cold milk of your choice.
- I like to add a touch more ice here if needed. Sometimes the warm espresso melts the initial handful of ice.
- Using a frothing wand, froth the remaining 1/4 cup of milk to foam it, then pour it over your iced coffee and cold milk mixture.
- Top with ground cinnamon and enjoy.
Notes
I prefer to spice my pumpkin puree straight out of the can since it's a little earthy tasting by itself. To do this, I put the entire can of pure pumpkin puree into a bowl then mix it with 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. I store it in the Refridgerator in a glass container while I make my pumpkin spice latte drinks throughout the weeks. It will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
