The arrival of Fall means pumpkin spice everything! One of the most popular drinks during this season is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, most often the pumpkin latte doesn’t really taste like pumpkin. Instead, it has notes of spices that are common during pumpkin season. If you want real pumpkin in your lattes, this easy Pumpkin Spice Syrup recipe is a must try. You can make your own pumpkin spice drinks at home with just a few teaspoons. Made with pumpkin puree, sugar, and a homemade pumpkin spice blend, this simple syrup is ready in just a few minutes so you can embrace the short PSL season as soon as possible. Pumpkin spice syrup is a simple syrup that is used to flavor and sweeten coffee-based lattes and tea lattes. This liquid sweetener can also be used for pumpkin spice cocktails and desserts.
Ingredients:
¼ cup pumpkin puree fresh or canned (not pumpkin pie filling)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup water
¾ cup white granulated sugar
Instructions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Mix and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw pumpkin taste. Add water and sugar to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugar dissolves and pumpkin puree is blended in. Remove from heat. Pour through a fine mesh strainer and into an airtight container like a glass jar or bottle. The strainer will help remove any sediments from the pumpkin spice simple syrup, if needed.
Let cool then seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
