DIY homemade Pumpkin Spiced Iced coffee recipe you can make and customize in your own kitchen!
It’s official, fall is Pumpkin Spice season. That’s ok, everyone loves the warming, spicy, cozy flavors of fall. But some people just like their coffee cold. Maybe you live somewhere warm (like Dallas?!) or maybe you just want a cool treat in the afternoon, this seasonal Pumpkin Spiced iced coffee is for you. But hang on, I love my coffee hot; this recipe is two parts, so if that’s you too, make this Pumpkin Spiced coffee creamer and save it for your morning brew!
An easy to make alternative to the store-bought stuff, you can customize this to your taste and feel better knowing that it’s not full of anything artificial! My version below calls for half-and-half, but if you’re watching your calories you can use the milk or plain dairy-alternative of your choosing. That’s the beauty of kitchen DIY’s! Adjust the pumpkin and spice to your taste as well, but these measurements are a great place to start. The creamer will keep refrigerated for about 2 weeks, stored in an airtight container.
