The foundation of a great cold brew starts with the right coffee-to-water ratio. For this recipe, you should aim for a ratio of 1:4, which means for every cup of coarsely ground coffee, you’ll need four cups of cold water. This saturation is crucial as it allows the coffee grounds to fully absorb the water, leading to optimal flavor extraction. In a large pitcher or jar, combine the coffee grounds and water, ensuring that all the coffee is evenly submerged. Stir gently to eliminate any dry clumps, allowing for even extraction.

Instructions
 

Make the Cold Brew:

    - In a large pitcher or jar, combine the coarse coffee grounds and cold water. Stir to ensure all coffee grounds are saturated.

      - Cover and let steep in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

        - After steeping, strain the coffee using a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter to remove the grounds. You can store the cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to two weeks.

          Prepare the Pumpkin Cream Topping:

            - In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.

              - Use an electric mixer or whisk to whip the mixture until soft peaks form, thick and creamy but still pourable.

                Assemble the Cold Brew:

                  - In a glass, fill it halfway with ice cubes. Pour the desired amount of cold brew concentrate over the ice.

                    - Mix in the maple syrup to sweeten. Adjust based on your taste preference.

                      Top with Pumpkin Cream:

                        - Gently spoon or pipe the pumpkin cream topping over the cold brew.

                          - Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top for an added festive touch.

                            Serve:

                              - Stir lightly to combine before enjoying this delicious treat. For an extra creamy experience, add a dollop of whipped cream on top!
