I don’t know about you but I always look forward to fall when the weather starts to turn cold at night and the kids are getting ready to go back to school. Transitional coffee drinks like this Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew are SO lovely this time of year – it’s got all the fall flavours like pumpkin and cinnamon that I LOVE, and it’s cool and refreshing for those warm days! If you’re a fan of Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew like I am and you want to know how to make it at home for a fraction of the cost, you’re going to LOVE this recipe! 
Ingredients for Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- coarsely ground coffee beans
- water
- sugar
- cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and whole allspice (optional – you can use ground pumpkin pie spice instead)
- heavy cream
- milk
- canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
How to Make Cold Brew
- Start with high-quality coffee. Choosing a high-quality coffee for cold brew is essential because the flavour in cold brew is much stronger than in regular coffee. Trust me, you’ll taste the difference!
- Use coarsely ground coffee. Cold brew is made with a higher ratio of coffee beans to water. We like 3/4 cup of coarsely ground beans to 4 cups of water.
- Use cold water. Pour cold water over the beans and stir well until all the beans are moistened.
- Let it sit overnight. Cover and let sit in the fridge for 12-18 hours.
- Filter and serve. Pour the coffee through a filter to filter out all the grinds. Dispose of the grinds and enjoy over ice!

How to Make Sweet Cream Cold Foam
- Start with simple syrup. Follow the recipe directions to make your own pumpkin spice-infused simple syrup to use in all your favourite homemade coffee shop drinks.
- Make it in a mason jar. The easiest way to make sweet cream cold foam is to add all the ingredients to a mason jar and shake to combine.
- Use heavy cream and milk together. This makes the cold foam nice and creamy. You can also use half and half in place of the cream and milk.
- Don’t forget the flavour. Add some pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, or use a flavour-infused syrup for flavour.
- Shake to foam. Shake well to create a nice thick and foamy cream.
What’s the difference between iced coffee and cold brew?
Iced coffee is coffee made with hot water, then poured over ice. Cold brew is coffee made with cold water and brewed slowly over several hours to create a strong brew (usually 12-18 hours or so). Then it’s poured over ice and served.
What kitchen equipment do I need to make cold brew?
A french press is a helpful tool for making cold brew at home. You can also use a large pitcher or a large mason jar.
Can I make decaffeinated cold brew?
Yes! Simply prepare the cold brew coffee according to the recipe directions using your favourite decaf coarse grind coffee.
Can I sweeten my cold brew coffee drink with sugar instead of syrup?
No. Since cold brew coffee is cold sugar doesn’t dissolve in it easily. To sweeten your cold brew, use an easy homemade simple syrup (in the recipe directions below), or sweeten it with a touch of honey, some maple syrup, or a few drops of liquid stevia.
