Add ice to a tall glass and pour in your cold brew. - Top It Off
Gently pour the pumpkin cream over the cold brew and watch the creamy swirl settle on top. - Dust with Extra Spice
Optional—but cozy: sprinkle with more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for the full fall effect.

Homemade or store-bought—either works! Just be sure it’s smooth, not too bitter, and chilled. (It often takes a little trail & error to find a cold brew that meets your preferred taste).
