Autumn can be difficult to gage weather wise. In the early months of this typically brisk season, the temperature can be a touch bipolar, alternating from hot to cold and back again in the span of twenty-four hours. By the time September rolls around, our palettes are crying out for change and a whole new crop of seasonal produce is competing for our attention. A nice, cool cup of Pumpkin Vietnamese Iced Coffee allows you to welcome the coming cold months with heady spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, while providing a reprieve from the occasional September heatwave. Using the Vietnamese take on the legendary beverage, Food + Words has created a creamy lip-smacking treat that's sure to please with the Pumpkin Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Made with a touch of sweetened condensed milk, this beverage takes on a level of decadence usually reserved for puddings and mousses. The [pumpkin spice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-chai-blend) gives you a taste of pumpkin pie, which only makes sippers fantasize about the possibility of creating a [coffee-infused pumpkin pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldbrew-concentrate).
