Serving variations: You can double or triple the ingredients to make larger batches for gatherings or meal prep.
Storage Tips:
Refrigerate leftovers: If you make extra cold brew or pumpkin mixture, store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Shake or stir before serving: If you’ve stored the drink for later, give it a good shake or stir before serving to recombine the ingredients.
Avoid freezing: It’s best to consume the Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew fresh, as freezing may alter the texture and flavor of the coffee and milk mixture.
