Starbucks UK Pumpkin Spice Latte: hot or iced, Tall or Grande?
For the skimmed-milk UK recipes, Tall is 185 kcal hot or 119 kcal iced; Grande is 231 kcal hot or 167 kcal iced. They are different full builds, including different topping assumptions.
Match country, milk, temperature and size
Starbucks’ Autumn 2026 UK guide lists the skimmed-milk Tall Pumpkin Spice Latte at 185 kcal and its iced counterpart at 119 kcal. The Grande versions list 231 kcal hot and 167 kcal iced. These are four published builds, not one drink with ice mathematically subtracted.

Why the iced version is not just colder
The UK guide’s hot skimmed-milk ingredient list includes whipped topping; the selected iced skimmed-milk list does not. Ice and the rest of the build also differ. Therefore the 66 kcal Tall difference or 64 kcal Grande difference cannot be presented as a measured “remove whipped cream” value.
Removing an ingredient or ordering fewer pumps requires published component amounts or a supported customized recipe. This table does not guess those effects.
Size changes protein as well
The hot versions list 6.7 g protein for Tall and 9.1 g for Grande; the iced versions list 5.1 g and 7.7 g. A larger drink increases protein here because it is another full recipe, but it also changes calories and other nutrients. It is not automatically a useful way to meet a protein target.
Total sugars are not an added-sugar measurement
The iced Grande lists 28.8 g total sugars. That includes the recipe’s total, not an independently reported added-sugars breakdown. Skimmed milk does not make a flavoured latte sugar-free. Equally, the full sugar value cannot be treated as the amount removed by asking for less sauce.
UK recipes stay separate from U.S. recipes
The source is the UK Autumn 2026 guide dated 18 September. Cup names alone do not establish an equivalent formulation in another country, and millilitre volumes are not supplied for these selected table rows.
For logging, save all four identifying details: UK, hot or iced, named size and skimmed milk. This seasonal source does not promise that every branch has the product in stock, or that the recipe will stay the same after the seasonal menu changes.
