Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Spice Syrup Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or 4-5 cinnamon sticks (or a mix of both)
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 heaping tablespoons pumpkin puree (use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, pour in 2 cups of water, 1 ½ cups of sugar, ½ cup of packed brown sugar, and add the cinnamon (either ground or sticks), nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Stir gently to combine the sugars with the water.
  2. Add Pumpkin Puree: Stir in 4 heaping tablespoons of pumpkin puree, ensuring it is well mixed with the spiced sugar water to infuse the syrup with pumpkin flavor.
  3. Simmer the Syrup: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugars completely. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the syrup to thicken slightly.
  4. Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat. If you used cinnamon sticks, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids or spice pieces, leaving you with a smooth syrup.
  5. Cool and Store: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use to enhance coffee, pancakes, desserts, or beverages.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
  • Adjust the amount of cloves carefully, as they have a strong flavor that can overpower the syrup.
  • Stir the syrup frequently during simmering to prevent burning or sticking.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, use a mix of ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks.
  • Keep refrigerated and shake well before use if separation occurs.
