Instructions
- Combine the heavy cream (or half and half) in a bowl or cup along with the brown sugar or sweetener, pureed pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use a frother or hand blender to combine the cream. Ensure the mixture is fully blended. You can also use a standard blender.

Notes
I find using a hand blender works better than a frother for smoothing out the pure pumpkin. It also makes the cream a lot thicker, so keep this in mind if you don't want thick cream. A frother will likely work better for you.
Both heavy whipping cream and half-and-half can be used to create a creaminess. The choice between the two depends on your preference for richness and creaminess.
Using heavy whipping cream will result in a richer and creamier texture. It has a higher fat content and will create a thicker layer of cream on top of your cold brew.
Half-and-half is a mixture of equal parts milk and cream. It’s lighter than heavy whipping cream and will create a less dense layer of cream on top of your cold brew.
