Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup
Nothing says autumn like pumpkin spice. Instead of treating myself to a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks this year, I decided to make my own! Now I can have pumpkin spice lattes all season. I gave up coffee about a year ago, so I like to make my own Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte instead. It’s so delicious and the perfect treat for autumn evenings.

- In a medium saucepan, add water and both sugars. Simmer on medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low and whisk in cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree. Simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and strain through a mesh.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before stirring in the vanilla extract. Store in an airtight container. The syrup will last for 1 month in the refrigerator.
- Add 2 tablespoons of syrup to your coffee or latte and enjoy!

This sounds very nice…..How many gifts could I make from this recipe ? Also , how do you use it exactly?
Thanks!
Hi Rose,
The recipe yields about 2 cups of syrup. The number of gifts will depend on what size jar or bottle you use. I was able to get two full bottles (shown in photos above) plus maybe half a cup more. There are tons of ways you can use it- try it in your coffee, over ice cream, stir it into your morning oatmeal or even try it on pancakes!
Hi there, I am looking forward to making this soon! My question, just to be sure: Since we don’t have canned pumpkin in Germany, can I just use homemade pumpkin puree? Do you think it would make a big difference?
