DIY Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe Gets a Fall Flavor Boost With This Coffee Creamer: Ready in 5 Minutes

Did you get the memo? Pumpkin spice lattes (PSL) don’t only have to be sipped warm. I know many piping hot fall drinks make us feel warm and cozy, especially as the weather starts getting chillier. But, if you swear by drinking iced coffee year-round, then the cold version of this drink is perfect for you. Even better, using a pumpkin pie spice-infused coffee creamer adds more fall flavor into the drink. Making your iced pumpkin spice latte takes five minutes, which is quicker than a coffee run to your nearest Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts. Read on to learn how to make a chilled PSL along with a bonus recipe that makes the drink extra frosty!

The ingredients in an iced pumpkin spice latte

This drink is made with the same ingredients in a hot PSL, including the namesake spice mix, coffee, milk and sweetener. Once combined, the drink is poured over ice and topped with whipped cream. Each sip is packed with sweet, creamy and spiced flavors, which is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Though, you can take this drink up a notch by adding coffee creamer to the drink base.
