Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe:
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup Sugar in the Raw or organic cane sugar. (or 1 cup granulated cane sugar*)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups of water
3 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
(There is no pumpkin in this syrup, but you will be surprised how much it tastes like pumpkin pie. Also, see note below.)
Instructions:
Learn how to make pumpkin spice syrup for coffee.Sanitize a Ball canning jar and lid (or any other sealable container).
Place all ingredients in a medium-sized sauce pan.
style=”text-align: justify;”>Heat syrup mixture on medium heat until almost boiling, stirring often.
Simmer syrup mixture for 10 minutes. *Do not allow syrup to come to a hard boil or cook too long, you just need to heat through to dissolve the sugar and blend the ingredients. Over heating the sugar will cause it to crystallize and make the syrup less smooth (goopy).*
Take sauce pan off stove, add vanilla and allow to cool 5 minutes
Pour into the Ball jar; you may want to pour through a filter to filter out undissolved spices.
Lid; and it’s ready to serve!
Best stored in refrigerator.
Serving Guide:
Add to your coffee, latte, brewed cocoa, cider, tea, or milk; top with whipped cream:
For best results, use fresh spices. If you use cinnamon from a large container that has been in you cupboard for 4 years, your results will be less tasty than if you use a fresh cinnamon from your local spice shop.
Depending on your personal preferences, you may want to pour the syrup through a fine strainer if your spices are not finely ground.
I experimented by adding ¼ cup of pumpkin to the sauce. It was good on the first day, but it separated and wasn’t as tasty on the second day. If you do decide to make a version with pumpkin, I recommend using pumpkin pie mix rather than canned pumpkin or be sure to add ½ cup more sugar.
This pumpkin spice syrup recipe is a perfect blend of spices resulting in a flavor reminiscent of a slice of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner; better tasting and better for you than anything you can buy at the store.
