A simple, homemade pumpkin spice syrup that adds cozy fall flavors to your iced coffee with ease. Perfect for busy mornings and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and water. Place over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a gentle simmer (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until syrup thickens slightly and spices bloom.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
  5. Optional: Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
  6. Let syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer to a glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
  7. To serve, add 2–3 tablespoons of syrup to 8 ounces (240ml) of iced coffee. Stir well and add milk or cream as desired.

Notes

Toast spices briefly before adding for deeper aroma. Keep simmer low to avoid burning. Warm syrup slightly if it thickens in fridge. Syrup keeps up to 2 weeks refrigerated. Can substitute sugar with brown sugar, coconut sugar, or natural sweeteners with texture changes.
