This time of the year has always felt special to me. It’s that golden in-between, when the days are still warm but the evenings carry a crisp edge that whispers of what’s to come. And maybe it’s no surprise that I love this season most, after all, my name is Autumn.

September always feels like a bridge between two worlds, one foot still lingering in golden sunshine, the other already crunching through the first fallen leaves.

And what better way to celebrate that in-between season than with a drink that captures the best of both? Cold and refreshing, yet creamy and spiced with pumpkin, my Iced Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is like sipping autumn through a straw.

I’ve always loved those first hints of pumpkin spice, but I wanted something that felt a little more homemade, a little more special than the coffee shop version. This recipe blends real pumpkin puree with maple syrup and a dash of pumpkin spice to create a frothy cream that slowly swirls into your cold brew.

It’s also incredibly easy to make. A quick whisk, a pour over ice, and suddenly your kitchen feels like a café. I especially love making this on the weekends, it takes just a few minutes but somehow transforms the whole day into something softer and more seasonal.

So if you’re craving that first taste of fall but aren’t quite ready to let go of iced drinks, this is your answer. Pour yourself a glass, sit by a window with the September sun streaming in, and let each sip remind you that a new season is unfolding, slowly, beautifully, and with the promise of cozy days ahead.
