Use it for all your Pumpkin Spice drinks from lattes to milkshakes!  This also tastes great on pancakes as well. This Pumpkin Spice Syrup is so much better than store bought and contains only natural ingredients like real pumpkin, vanilla and cane sugar.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp . Pumpkin Puree*
  • 3 tsp . Pumpkin Spice**
  • To make syrup base:
  • 3 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • optional: use a whole bottle of vanilla syrup or sugar free vanilla syrup like Torani as a substitute for the syrup base.

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a medium sized pot and cook on medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Stir well and turn heat off as soon as sugar is completely melted.
  2. Remove the pot from the stove and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
  3. Strain syrup with a fine mesh strainer to get any gritty particles out.
  4. Use a 16 oz. lidded container (mason jar etc.) to pour the pumpkin spice syrup into. Pumpkin Spice Syrup will last in the refrigerator for around 2 weeks.

Notes

How much syrup does this recipe make? It makes around 26 ounces of liquid syrup. Use a lidded container that holds this amount or more for storage.

What's the best way to store pumpkin spice syrup? Pumpkin spice syrup should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and flavor. Check the label or package for specific storage instructions.

Can I use sugar substitutes instead of sugar? This recipe is best made as is with real sugar, but some sugar substitutes that are used 1:1 ratio for sugar should work fine. I haven't tried it this way so I cannot attest to the results.

*Use homemade or canned like Libby canned pumpkin puree. Do not use Pumpkin Pie Puree. USE THE PLAIN PUMPKIN ONLY.

** Pumpkin Spice typically includes a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice. Use my recipe for pumpkin spice here!

***optional: use a whole bottle of vanilla syrup or sugar free vanilla syrup like Torani as a substitute for the syrup. Another great option is my homemade vanilla bean syrup here.

**** Pro tip: Use half brown sugar and half cane sugar for a deeper flavor.
