Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup
- 1 cup Filtered Water
- 1/2 cups Honey
- 1/4 cups Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1- 1/4 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 cans (15oz Can) Organic Pumpkin Puree, Or About 3/4 Cup Homemade
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1.
- In a sauce pot, add all of your ingredients.
- Over a medium flame, cook mixture stirring frequently, until it reaches a simmer.
- Once gently simmering, turn heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally about 5 minutes.
- Do not allow it to boil, otherwise the ground cinnamon could turn the syrup goopy.
- 2.
- After syrup has cooked, remove it from the heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight (glass) container, catching any chunks of pumpkin.
- For a smoother syrup, line your strainer with cheesecloth before straining.
- 3.
- Store the sealed jar of syrup in fridge and use to sweeten and flavor teas and coffees, or pour over ice cream, yogurt, pancakes and waffles!
- Will store this way for up to two weeks!
- Notes: Make sure to shake well before using.
- Syrup will thicken up quite a bit in the fridge.
- So if need be, gently heat (put the jar in the microwave or in a pot of simmering water for just a few seconds until it loosens up), before use.
- I didnt need to do soeven after refrigeration my syrup was still pourable.
- Since this syrup is made with real pumpkin, real spices and real unrefined sweeteners it will taste like a nice homemade version!
- Also, when added to warm drinks, it wont be as strong as Starbucks version.
- I know they do a pump or two of their syrup for each drink but believe youll need more here.
- Were choosing the natural route, so add a bit more of the homemade stuff, to your taste, and enjoy!
- Makes about 1 3/4 cups.
