This is one of my Drink recipes I know you’ll want to keep on hand!

The pumpkin spice latte is a cult favorite at Starbucks and many other coffee shops, and for good reason… it’s delicious!

Except those lattes tend to be full of TONS of sugar and who knows what else.

This iced version uses real, everyday ingredients, and takes hardly any time at all to whip up.  Just what you need when you’re craving a caffeinated taste of Fall!

I prefer to make this iced latte with whole milk for extra creaminess, but in addition to being delicious, this recipe is really versatile. Any dairy or non-dairy milk will work!

How to make an iced pumpkin spice latte?

This is just an overview; the full ingredients and directions are in the recipe card toward the bottom of this post.

step by step photos of how to make iced pumpkin spice lattes
  1. Brew coffee. I like to do this earlier in the day, so it’s already room temperature or chilled, so it doesn’t melt the ice.
  2. Make pumpkin spice milk. You can do this by hand with a whisk, or use a blender if you really want it nice and smooth.
  3. Pour in coffee. I like to use plenty of ice so the latte stays chilled longer.
  4. Pour in pumpkin spice milk. Give it a good stir.
  5. Serve. You can serve this as is, or be fancy and go for a whipped cream and cinnamon topping!

Helpful Tip!

The reason I like to use coffee in this recipe instead of the traditional espresso is that espresso isn’t as readily available as coffee (except for instant). So if you’re using coffee, to make it taste more authentic, make sure you brew the coffee strong.  Otherwise it’ll taste a bit watered down.

Variations of this recipe

  • Espresso – traditionally lattes are made with espresso and not coffee, however, not everyone has an espresso maker, which is why I used coffee in this recipe.  If you DO have access to quality espresso, I would use 4 shots (which is equivalent to 4 oz).
  • Slow cooker – this recipe is easily made for a crowd in a slow cooker.  I recommend at least doubling or tripling it so it’ll fill the slow cooker a bit more.  Add all ingredients to a slow cooker, then stir well.  Cover and cook on HIGH for about an hour.
  • Milk – you can use any milk product for this recipe. We use whole because that’s what we have on hand all the time, but 1%, 2%, half and half, etc will work just fine.
  • Non-dairy – soy/almond/cashew/oat milk will also work in this recipe.
  • Sweeter/More pumpkin – if you’d like a sweeter drink, feel free to add more brown sugar. For a more pronounced pumpkin flavor, feel free to use more pumpkin puree.
  • Alternate sweeteners – try using granulated sugar or even maple syrup for a different flavor profile! Sugar-free sweeteners can also be used if you prefer.

FAQ’s

What should I do with the leftover pumpkin puree after using just 1/2 a cup for this recipe?

You can store it in the refrigerator (in an airtight container), and it’ll keep for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months (just thaw before using). Also, you can try using some of it to make these pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin donut holes, or pumpkin whoopie pies!

Can I use pumpkin pie spice to make these lattes?

Of course! Either pick up a bottle of pre-made spice mix, or you can make your own. I would use about 2 1/2 tsp. I’ve included a homemade version of pumpkin pie spice in the “chef tips” section below the recipe.

Making pumpkin spice latte ahead of time

While I don’t recommend making this latte completely ahead of time, you can certainly make/prep part of this recipe ahead.

The pumpkin, milk, sugar, spices, and vanilla can be blended or whisked, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.

Then just add the coffee/espresso to a glass with ice, and stir in the pumpkin mixture!

Storage

Leftovers should be refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoyed within 4-5 days.

Just give the latte a good stir, pour over ice, and top with any toppings you’d like.

      I haven’t tested this recipe using chia seeds, so I can’t say for certain whether that would work or if any changes would need to be made. If you do some experimenting, I’d love to know how it turns out 🙂
