How To Make Flavored Cold Brew — 5 Fall Recipes

in Brewed on 09/25/20

Jump to Cold Brew Recipe

Mix up your coffee routine with fall-flavored cold brew — you’ll never go back to “normal” cold brew again.

  • Despite summer coming to an end, there’s no need to pack up your cold brew gear quite yet.
  • With flavored cold brew, you can put a fall or wintery spin on your favorite summer coffee beverage.
  • Vanilla, chai, and pumpkin spice are just a few of the flavors you can infuse into your cold brew.

There’s so much you can do with cold brew, just look at the Starbucks menu and you’ll see the long list of cold brew variations. But instead of spending a ton of cash at your local coffee shop, why not make your own cold brew right at home?

All you need are some coffee grounds, water, and a few spices. The recipes below follow my basic cold brew coffee recipe found here but any basic cold brew recipe should also work.

Cinnamon Cold Brew 

Note: I may earn a small commission when you make a purchase through some of the below links. Read my disclosure policy to learn more.

To make cinnamon cold brew, you only need one ingredient: cinnamon sticks. Before placing your coffee grounds into the filter basket, add just one cinnamon stick to the bottom and pour the grounds on top. Then pour the water over the grounds just as normal following the recipe below.

It’s best to use cinnamon sticks in place of ground cinnamon so that it doesn’t see through your cold brew filter basket. Typically, spices are ground so fine that they seep right into the coffee since they don’t dissolve that well. 

Gingerbread Cold Brew

For a more wintery cold brew, you can make a gingerbread-flavored variation. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried ginger root (depending on how much you like ginger) and 1 cinnamon stick to the bottom of your cold brew filter basket. Then, proceed as normal following the recipe below. 

Vanilla Bean Cold Brew

To make vanilla cold brew, you will need to get one vanilla bean — not vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract. The vanilla bean will penetrate the coffee much more than the liquids can. In this case, I would suggest adding 1 whole vanilla bean (sliced down the middle) to the bottom of your filter basket.

Note: this will be unsweetened cold brew. If you’d like to add sugar, feel free to do so after the cold brew has steeped (when it’s ready to serve). 

Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew

With fall upon us, what better time is there to enjoy pumpkin spice coffee beverages? To make a very flavorful pumpkin-spice cold brew, you will need 1 whole clove, 1 cinnamon stick, 1/2 teaspoon of dried ginger root, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Place all of the spices on the bottom of your filter basket and pour your coffee grounds over the spices. 

Chai Cold Brew

Chai-flavored beverages can be enjoyed any time of the year. If you’re craving the warm flavors but not the warm temperatures of a latte, enjoy this chai-flavored cold brew recipe. You will need 1 teaspoon of dried ginger, 1 whole clove, 1 cinnamon sticks, 1 cardamom pod, 3 black peppercorns, and 1/2 of a vanilla bean. Again, place all of these ingredients onto the bottom of your filter basket, followed by the coffee grounds, and then the water.

My last tip is to use cold brew coffee ice cubes (pictured above) which you can find on my blog. This is my favorite coffee hack because it keeps your drink from becoming watery, and it gives it an extra caffeine kick. Just be sure to only add one or two cubes to avoid getting the jitters from overdosing on caffeine.

Basic Cold Brew Recipe

Yields6 ServingsDifficultyBeginnerRating

SaveEmail

best cold brew coffee ovalware

 85 g coarsely ground coffee (or ¾ cup of whole coffee beans turned into about 1 ½ cups coarsely-ground coffee)
 380 g high-quality water

Instructions
1

Grab my free Cold Brew Making Checklist & Recipe Card to make the brewing process a snap! Find it at the bottom of this page.

2

Grind the 85 grams of coffee beans if using whole beans to a coarse grind. Place all of the grounds in the filter basket of your brewing vessel.

3

Place your filter basket properly into the brewing vessel so that you have a place to pour the water. Most cold brew coffee makers will have you place the basket inside of a glass/plastic carafe.

4

Slowly pour the water over the grounds about 1/2 cup at a time. It's best to allow the water to seep through the grounds completely and then you can add more water. Continue until you've poured all 380 grams over the grounds.

5

Let the brew steep on the countertop for 12 hours. If placing in the fridge for steeping, let it steep for 15 to 18 hours.

6

Once steeping is complete, remove the filter basket and discard the grounds (or repurpose them as compost!). Pour your cold brew into a glass, and add water and/or milk to dilute the cold brew concentrate if necessary. Finish it off with cold brew coffee ice cubes if desired!

Iced Oat Milk Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Pumpkin spice mixture:
½ cup oat milk (barista blend if possible)
⅓ cup brown sugar (white is okay too)
2 tsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp vanilla extract
Latte
2 shots of espresso
1 cup oat milk 
1 tbsp pumpkin spice mixture
½ cup whipped cream (optional)
2 ice cubes (if enjoying cold)

Pumpkin spice mixture:
1. In a small sauce pan, add oat milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to medium heat and whisk ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
2. Once the mixture starts to steam and the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla. Strain through a fine mesh filter into a glass jar for easy storage.
Latte:
3. Pull your espresso shots, and pour inside your desired coffee mug. Add the strained pumpkin spice mixture to the espresso and stir well.
4. If enjoying warm (skip to next step if enjoying iced), steam your milk using a steam wand, milk frother, or mason jar (see post above to make foam without a frother) until foamy. Pour velvety milk on top of the espresso mixture.
5. For iced pumpkin spice lattes, add 2 to 3 ice cubes or cold brew coffee cubes to your mixture.
6. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and dust with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

There’s something quiet and grounding about sipp There’s something quiet and grounding about sipping coffee in the open air.

This week on the blog, we’re sharing a thoughtful guest post all about coffee and the outdoors—from trailside brews to simple backyard mornings. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes the best coffee moments happen far from the kitchen.

Take a moment to read, reflect, and maybe plan your next outdoor sip.

Where do you love to enjoy your coffee when the sky’s the ceiling?
