Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup pumpkin purée
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 tsp cinnamon + 1/2 tsp nutmeg)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

1. 1

   Add the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, water, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to a small saucepan.

2. 2

   Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

3. 3

   Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. 4

   Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and the flavors have melded together.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.

6. 6

   If a smoother texture is preferred, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pumpkin solids.

7. 7

   Pour the syrup into a clean bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

To serve: Mix 1–2 tablespoons of the syrup with espresso or strong brewed coffee, ice, and your milk of choice. Straining the syrup is optional but recommended for a cleaner texture in iced drinks.
