Print Recipe

This quick homemade pumpkin spice syrup for coffee takes just five minutes and uses real ingredients like pumpkin puree and warm spices. It’s budget-friendly, customizable, and free from artificial additives, making your morning coffee taste like autumn in a bottle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, and pumpkin puree. Whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves and the pumpkin is fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk until evenly distributed.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (small bubbles around the edges) and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
  5. For a smoother syrup, pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass measuring cup or directly into a storage jar.
  6. Use a funnel to transfer the syrup to a glass jar or bottle. Let cool completely before sealing the lid.

Notes

The syrup is thinner when hot and thickens as it cools. For a thicker syrup, simmer an extra 1-2 minutes. Shake before each use as spices settle. Store in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The flavor improves after a day or two. Can be frozen in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
