Ingredients
½ cup (120mL) cold brew coffee concentrate
½ cup (120mL) water
½ Tablespoon (8 mL) maple syrup (or to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons (30mL) heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons (30mL) milk (any kind)
½ to 1 Tablespoon (8-15mL) additional maple syrup (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Orange gel food coloring (optional, for festive color)
Halloween sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the cold brew coffee concentrate and water. Stir well to blend.
Sweeten and Flavor: Add the maple syrup, vanilla paste or extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until fully combined. Taste and add more syrup if you prefer a sweeter brew.
Prepare the Cream: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and a dash of vanilla extract until smooth.
Add Color (Optional): If you want a more festive appearance, carefully add a few drops of orange gel food coloring to the cream mixture and stir gently.
Layer the Brew: Pour the coffee mixture into serving glasses, filling them about halfway. Spoon the pumpkin spice cold foam on top.
Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles for a festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, serve immediately to preserve foam texture. Fresh ingredients yield the best flavor.
