The Best Way To Incorporate Pumpkin Into Your Cold Foam

Pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin-flavored cold brews have become synonymous with changing seasons — and for good reason. Earthy pumpkin and warm spices are a natural match for the complex flavors in hot or cold coffee, as comforting as your favorite sweater or cozy socks. Cold foam is one of the best ways to add pumpkin to your beverage with a texture that holds up to sturdy pumpkin puree and a level of sweetness that enhances the spicy flavor.

You only need a few milk-based ingredients and a sweetener to make this luxurious topping for cold coffee that floats atop your drink, infusing creamy sweetness with every sip. A hand-held frother or mini blender makes a quick foam, but you can also shake it up in a jar. This creamy foam creates a distinctive contrast layer that enhances overall taste by providing a creamy and delightful mouthfeel. Now comes the fun part.

Pumpkin puree in a can is our favorite way to get more squash in our life and it's the best way to add flavor and dense texture to cold foam. Just stir in a few tablespoons of pumpkin when making the cold foam, adjusting the amount to your preferred taste. Low in calories, but high in fiber and vitamin A, pumpkin is not only delicious but nutritious.

Although you can buy pumpkin spice premixed in a jar to jazz up your foam, we recommend grinding up a batch of your own spice mix to get the freshest flavor. The best part of creating your own pumpkin spice is tweaking the recipe to make it your own. Add more cinnamon if you love sweet, or a little more ginger for extra spicy. With your custom spice in hand, make a pumpkin cold foam that is truly your own.
