A quick and easy homemade pumpkin syrup that captures the warm, comforting essence of pumpkin spice, perfect for lattes and cold brew coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree (canned, pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar (dark or light brown sugar)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and water until smooth and no lumps remain (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Stir in ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Place saucepan over medium-low heat and bring mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning (about 5 minutes).
  4. Simmer the syrup for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens slightly and darkens in color. Avoid scorching by lowering heat if it smells burnt.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
  6. Optional: Pour syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean jar or bottle for a smoother texture.
  7. Let syrup cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. Stir before each use.

Notes

Keep heat medium-low to avoid burning and bitterness. Stir frequently. Syrup can be strained for a smoother texture. Store in refrigerator up to two weeks. Warm before use if syrup thickens. Variations include using coconut sugar or maple syrup for vegan/refined sugar-free options, adding ginger or cardamom for extra spice, or stirring in bourbon/spiced rum for an adult twist.
