Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew offers a festive twist on coffee, with some nutritional benefits from the pumpkin. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and antioxidants. To make it healthier, consider using unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk instead of heavy cream to reduce calories and saturated fat. You can also reduce the amount of maple syrup or use a sugar-free sweetener alternative. Cold brew coffee is naturally less acidic than hot brewed coffee, which may be easier on the stomach. While this drink can be a tasty treat, it's important to be mindful of added sugars and calories. For a lighter version, use less of the pumpkin cream topping or enjoy the cold brew with just a splash of pumpkin-spiced milk. As with all caffeinated beverages, moderation is key for maintaining healthy sleep patterns.

Ingredients

 

For the cold brew:

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups cold water

For the pumpkin cream:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Additional:

  • Ice cubes
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. For cold brew: Combine ground coffee and cold water in a large jar. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

  3. For pumpkin cream: In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Vinegar Shelf: Why the Most Overlooked Ingredient in Your Pantry Deserves More Attention

Apple cider vinegar — particularly raw, unfiltered versions containing the “mother” of fermentation — contains acetic acid, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria that have demonstrated modest but genuine effects on blood sugar regulation in clinical research. Several studies have found that consuming vinegar before or with a meal reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin response, with effects that are meaningful for people managing blood sugar levels. The mechanism appears to involve acetic acid’s inhibition of starch-digesting enzymes, slowing the absorption of carbohydrates. While the health claims surrounding apple cider vinegar are often overstated in popular culture, the specific blood sugar modulation effect has genuine clinical support — making the vinegar used in cooking a functional ingredient as well as a flavor one.

Publix Is Recalling Frozen Blueberries in 8 States After 12 Confirmed E. Coli Cases

Frozen fruits are one of the most nutritious and convenient pantry staples — but this recall is a reminder that frozen doesn’t mean sterile. E. coli and other pathogens can survive freezing, which is why cooking or heating frozen produce doesn’t always eliminate the risk from a contaminated batch. When buying frozen berries, checking the lot code at home and registering your email with the FDA’s recall alert system at fda.gov are simple habits that can help you catch issues like this one before the berries make it into your smoothie. If you’re in one of the eight affected states and shop at Publix, check your freezer today.
