Recipe Ingredients
This iced pumpkin latte recipe is made with just a handful of simple ingredients.
- Espresso. I used Starbucks espresso coffee to make a bold espresso in my espresso machine. You can also use a French press, Moka pot, or Nespresso machine, or use cooled, strong-brewed coffee or Cold Brew Concentrate.
- Milk. I used non-sweetened almond milk, but you can use dairy milk, skim milk, reduced-fat milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Whole milk will give you the richest flavor.
- Pumpkin puree. Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Pumpkin pie spice. Use store-bought or make Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice. You can also just use cinnamon.
- Sweetener. I used maple syrup, but you could also use honey, vanilla simple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.

How To Make Starbucks Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte At Home
Step-By-Step Instructions
This recipe makes 473 mL, equivalent to a Grande size at Starbucks.
- Step 1: Add espresso, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender (Image 1). You can also shake the ingredients in a jar or use an immersion blender.
- Step 2: Blend for a couple of minutes or until a smooth consistency is reached (Image 2).
- Step 3: Fill a glass ⅔ full with ice cubes. Pour the blended Pumpkin Spice Latte over ice (Image 3).
- Step 4: This is completely optional, but you can top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon for a special treat (Image 4).
Variations
- Leave out the whipped cream to make a skinny iced pumpkin spice latte.
- Drizzle caramel sauce or chocolate sauce on top of the whipped cream for extra flavor.
- Make a delicious Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte using chai tea instead of espresso if you are not a fan of coffee.
- Top with Pumpkin Cold Foam instead of whipped cream to make an iced pumpkin spice latte with cold foam.

Jeri's Top Tips
- Use a bold espresso or strong coffee for the best flavor.
- Cool the espresso so it doesn't melt the ice immediately.
- Use coffee ice cubes to prevent the iced pumpkin latte from getting watered down when the ice melts. Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays, then place frozen ice cubes into a freezer bag. Use coffee ice cubes anytime you make an iced latte!
- If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in a covered container or mason jar with a lid for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
What To Serve With Homemade Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
I love to enjoy my cold glass of pumpkin latte with a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin or a slice of Pumpkin Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting.
It also goes great with a slice of Starbucks' Moist Banana Nut Bread or my Zucchini Bread with Cinnamon Glaze.
Recipe FAQs
A pumpkin spice latte is a coffee drink that is flavored with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices. It is made with espresso and creamy milk and can be topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte contains espresso, milk, pumpkin spice sauce, whipped cream, and pumpkin spice topping.
A shot of espresso has 75 mg of caffeine (using Starbucks espresso), and if you are using regular coffee, it has about 15 mg of caffeine per ounce.
There are about 100 calories in an iced pumpkin spice latte if you use unsweetened almond milk and no whipped cream on top. If you use 1% milk, the calories increase to 160, and whipped cream on top adds another 60ish calories. The Starbucks version, grande (16 fl oz), has 370 calories and 45 g of sugar.
Yes, the Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte has either espresso or strong-brewed coffee, giving it that kick you need alongside those cozy autumn flavors. However, you can use decaf if you're looking to limit caffeine.
