Pumpkin Spice Iced Matcha 🍵🎃✨
Because why should coffee have all the pumpkin spice fun? This Pumpkin Spice Iced Matcha is cozy-meets-refreshing — earthy matcha paired with creamy pumpkin cold foam and just the right touch of maple sweetness. It’s like a PSL’s green-tea-loving sister, the one who reads cookbooks for fun and drinks her lattes over ice even in October.
If you’re already deep in your fall beverage era, this one’s for you. We’re layering velvety matcha with homemade pumpkin cold foam (made with Lifeway Kefir for a little probiotic boost) and a drizzle of pumpkin coffee syrup that tastes like dessert but feels like wellness. Cozy, balanced, and just extra enough to make your morning feel like a café moment.
