This simple, homemade pumpkin spice syrup recipe can be used to flavor lattes, pumpkin pancakes and a variety of other dishes and desserts. Vegan and gluten-free.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently for 10 minutes, ensuring you whisk the mixture frequently.
Turn off the heat, then carefully pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer held over a mixing bowl, reserving the syrup and discarding the solids.
Using a funnel, pour the mixture into a jar or bottle to store in the fridge. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Enjoy!
Notes
Whisk often while it simmers so the spices and pumpkin don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Don't skip straining through a fine mesh strainer. It's what keeps the syrup smooth instead of gritty.
Granulated sugar can be swapped for coconut sugar if that's what you have on hand.
Store in an airtight jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 10 days.
