A quick and fuss-free homemade pumpkin spice coffee syrup that adds a cozy, seasonal touch to your morning brew with real pumpkin puree and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (120 ml) pumpkin puree (canned, not pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt (about ⅛ teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine pumpkin puree, water, and brown sugar in a saucepan. Whisk together until smooth and no large lumps remain (about 3 minutes).
  2. Stir in ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix well to blend all the warm spices evenly throughout the syrup (1 minute).
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring just to a simmer while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until syrup thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon with a smooth, glossy finish.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
  5. Let the syrup cool for 15 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired for a smooth syrup without pumpkin fibers. Otherwise, pour into a clean glass jar.
  6. Seal the jar and refrigerate. Shake or stir before each use. Use within 2 weeks for best flavor.

Notes

Whisk constantly early on to prevent sugar from settling and scorching. Keep heat low after initial simmer to avoid burning or graininess. Strain syrup for a silky texture if desired. Store in airtight glass jar in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Stir or shake before use. Adjust thickness by adding water or simmering longer.
