Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte Ingredients
Ultimate Vegan Copy-Cat Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte Ingredients
- Base Brew: ½ cup of robustly brewed coffee or 2 shots of chilled espresso for that caffeine kick. I like to brew the coffee the night before so it's completely chilled when I'm ready to make this in the morning.
- Pure Pumpkin Essence: 2 tablespoon of natural canned pumpkin puree for a true autumnal flavor. Be sure to grab pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Natural Sweetness: 2 tablespoon of organic maple syrup (adjust to 1 tablespoon for those who prefer a milder sweetness). Feel free to use equal amounts of brown sugar or coconut sugar instead of maple syrup.
- Aromatic Touch: Optional 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for depth and aroma.
- Milk Varieties: ½ cup of creamy oat milk (other alternatives include nutritious almond milk, coconut milk, or traditional whole milk for those not adhering to a dairy-free diet).
- Signature Spice Blend: A sprinkle, about ¼ tsp, of classic pumpkin pie spices. Or, make your own by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to your vegan pumpkin spiced latte.
- Cool Factor: Add a handful of ice cubes for a chilled delight.
- Toppings (for the Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Latte add-ins):
- A dash of ground cinnamon for warmth.
- Choose between dairy-free or traditional whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

- Mix It Up: Grab that pumpkin puree and mix it with your cooled coffee or espresso. Drizzle in some maple syrup, and for a touch of warmth and sweetness. Then, add a splash of vanilla and a shake of pumpkin pie spices. Give it all a good mix until it's super smooth.
- Ice & Pour: Pop some ice in your fave glass, pour that yummy pumpkin mix over it, and top it all off with your go-to milk.

My biggest tip for ensuring a creamy pumpkin spiced latte and not a watery one is to make sure that your coffee has cooled completely before pouring it over the ice. I like to brew the coffee or espresso the evening before and store in the fridge overnight. This creates the perfect creamy vegan iced pumpkin spiced latte every time!
