A fuss-free, homemade pumpkin spice latte syrup made with five simple pantry staples, perfect for cozy coffee moments and versatile for drinks and desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar (light brown sugar preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup water. Whisk over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Mix well.
  3. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce heat, and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrup thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. If syrup is too thick, add a splash of water; if too thin, simmer a few minutes longer. It will thicken more as it cools.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. For smoother syrup, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pumpkin bits.
  6. Transfer syrup to a clean glass jar and refrigerate. Keeps well up to two weeks.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best flavor. Stir often to prevent burning. Syrup thickens more as it cools. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. Shake before use if separation occurs. For a thinner syrup, substitute brown sugar with maple syrup or coconut sugar. Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom for a spice variation.
