Cook techniques
Mixing Ingredients
Combine the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a mason jar for a rich and flavorful base.
Frothing Cream
Use a milk frother to aerate the mixture. Froth the ingredients for one to two minutes until the cream is light and foamy. This technique adds texture and visual appeal.
Shaking Method
If a milk frother is not available, seal the mason jar and shake vigorously for two minutes. This method still creates bubbles in the cream and achieves a similar foamy texture.
Serving Cold Brew
Fill a glass two-thirds full with cold brew coffee. This provides a refreshing base that complements the pumpkin sweet cream.
Pouring Technique
Gently pour the pumpkin sweet cream over the cold brew coffee. Careful pouring preserves the layers and enhances presentation.
