Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- ½ cup Dark Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ cup Pumpkin Purée
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Add the water, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan. Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until both sugars have completely dissolved. Avoid a rapid boil, which can cause too much water to evaporate and make the syrup thicker than intended.
- Let the syrup gently simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the pumpkin syrup to cool completely to room temperature. Transfer it to a clean glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Give the syrup a good shake or stir before using, since some natural settling can occur from the real pumpkin purée and spices. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pumpkin Purée: Use 100% pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Simmering: Keep the syrup at a gentle simmer to prevent it from reducing too much and becoming overly thick.
- Straining: For a smoother syrup, strain it through a fine mesh strainer before storing.
- Cooling: Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
- Storage: Refrigerate the syrup for up to 2 weeks and shake or stir before using, as natural settling is normal.
- Serving: Start with 1-2 tablespoons per 8 ounces of coffee, or 1-2 teaspoons for iced chai, and adjust to taste.
