What you need
Steps
Brew one shot of espresso, about 1 ounce, or 2 ounces of very strong coffee. Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes so it is warm, not boiling.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup to a tall glass. If you have no syrup, stir in 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
Pour the warm espresso into the glass and stir for 10 seconds. This dissolves the syrup or puree so it does not sink to the bottom.
Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes, about 1 cup. Leave a little room for the milk and topping.
Pour in 6 to 8 ounces of cold milk. Whole milk tastes richest, but oat, almond or soy milk work well too.
Stir gently for 5 to 10 seconds, moving the spoon up and down so the coffee and milk mix evenly.
Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of frothed milk or whipped cream. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice and serve right away.
Tips and common mistakes
Chill your coffee before pouring it over ice so the drink does not turn watery.
Stir the syrup into the warm espresso first, or it will sit in a sweet layer at the bottom of the glass.
Make your own pumpkin pie spice with 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ginger, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 teaspoon allspice and 1 teaspoon cloves.
Use barista-style oat milk if you want a thick, foamy top without dairy.
Questions
Can I make this without an espresso machine?
Yes. Use 2 ounces of strong brewed coffee, cold brew or 1/4 cup of chilled strong instant coffee instead of the espresso.
How do I make it dairy free?
Use oat, almond or soy milk and check that your pumpkin spice syrup is dairy free. Barista oat milk gives the creamiest result.
Can I make the pumpkin spice syrup ahead of time?
Yes. Simmer 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice for 5 minutes. Cool it, then keep it covered in the fridge and use within 2 weeks.
