Step-by-Step Guide to Making Pumpkin Coffee Syrup

Alright, let’s get this cozy fall magic happening in your kitchen! Making this pumpkin coffee syrup is super simple, and before you know it, you’ll have all that wonderful flavour ready for your favorite drinks. Just follow these easy steps, and you’ll be sipping on fall perfection in no time.

Combine and Simmer Your Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Grab a medium saucepan – nothing too fancy needed here! Pour in your water, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and that lovely pumpkin pie spice.

Infuse Flavor: Cooking the Pumpkin Coffee Syrup

Now, pop that saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring gently until it just comes to a simmer. Once you see those little bubbles starting to form around the edges, turn the heat down to low. Let it bubble away softly for about 5 minutes, giving it a little stir now and then. This is where all those delicious fall flavors really start to meld together.

Finishing Touches for Your Fall Latte Syrup

Time for that extra touch of warmth! Pull the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Oh, the aroma already! Now, for the smooth part: strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle. If you want it super smooth, like Alex suggests for that “pure joy” feeling, you can even strain it a second time! Let it cool completely before you pop a lid on it.

Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home

Making things yourself is where the real magic happens, and this pumpkin spice syrup is no exception! A few little tricks will make sure your homemade syrup is absolutely perfect for all your fall coffee creations. It’s all about embracing that simple joy in the kitchen, just like Alex talks about!

First off, don’t skip the straining step! If you’re like me and love things super smooth, running it through a fine-mesh sieve twice makes a world of difference. It removes any tiny bits of pumpkin pulp, giving you a beautifully clear and silky pumpkin simple syrup for your drinks. It really elevates that homemade feel!

And hey, don’t be afraid to play with the spices! My recipe calls for a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, but maybe you like a little more cinnamon or a touch more ginger. Taste it after you stir in the vanilla (and let it cool just a bit!) and adjust freely. This is *your* fall latte syrup, after all!

Storing Your Make Ahead Coffee Syrup

Now that you’ve whipped up this amazing pumpkin spice syrup, the best part is that it’s a make-ahead dream! To keep that delicious fall flavor around, just let the syrup cool down completely after you’ve strained it. Once it’s cool, pour it into a clean, airtight jar or bottle. We’re talking about keeping this goodness in the fridge, and it should stay nice and fresh for about two weeks. It’s perfect for having on hand whenever that PSL craving hits!
