Equipment

Electric or handheld milk frother

Ingredients

⅓ cup very cold milk of choice I use lactose-free 2% milk. Unsweetened almond milk should work too.
1-2 teaspoon maple syrup depending on preferred sweetness
1 teaspoon pumpkin purée
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice plus extra for dusting
1½ cups iced coffee or cold brew

Instructions

Electric milk frother: Combine all ingredients except the cold brew in the frother. Froth on cold mode. Add your cold brew to a tall glass with ice. Top with pumpkin cold foam and enjoy.
Handheld milk frother: Combine all ingredients except the cold brew in a short glass. Use a handheld electric milk frother for 1-2 minutes until thick and fluffy. Add your cold brew to a tall glass with ice. Top with pumpkin cold foam and enjoy.

Notes

Milk must be very cold straight from the fridge! Otherwise it will become too airy instead of a denser cold foam.
To froth on cold mode: On a Nespresso Aeroccino or similar device, cold frothing mode is activated by holding the button for 3 seconds until it turns blue.
Dairy-free option: Very cold almond or oat milk should work well.
