The Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is the cold and summer version of the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte with pumpkin, coffee, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A beverage that, in autumn, is never missing from our home. The spice mix, the sweet flavor of pumpkin that perfectly matches the bold taste of coffee, makes this drink one of the most loved and replicated during the autumn season. Since it’s one of our favorite drinks and since we couldn’t wait for pumpkin season to arrive, this year we slightly anticipated the preparation of the Pumpkin Spice Latte by making a new, iced version, perfect to enjoy in the last days of summer. Like the original beverage, it is a pumpkin spice latte with added spices and espresso. The difference is that, instead of being hot and steamy, the Pumpkin Spice Latte we are proposing today is cold, with the addition of ice cubes. Completed with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, this drink is a true delight for the eyes and the palate, a treat to indulge in at any time of the day!
