Pumpkin Spice Syrup

A simple syrup to spice up coffee or tea.

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves into a small saucepan. Mix and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute to remove the raw pumpkin taste.
  • Add water and sugar to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugar dissolves and the pumpkin puree is blended in.
  • Remove from heat, and pour through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container, like a glass jar or bottle. The strainer helps to remove any sediments from the pumpkin spice syrup, if needed.
  • Allow to cool, then seal and store i the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
