Pumpkin Syrup

Pumpkin Syrup

It's said that the arrival of Fall is marked only by when this coffee syrup is released by the Green Siren . This syrup spawns a frenzy each year.

It's debated whether Starbucks syrup contains any actual pumpkin...or any wholesome sweeteners for that matter. Last time I checked, most store-bought syrups still contain high-fructose corn syrup.

But do not despair, here's a wholesome recipe:

This recipe is inspired by the flavors you would find in pumpkin pie yet slightly altered so that it can be used as a flavoring in coffee drinks.

ProTip: Try this sweetener to a Cortado and a dollop of cacao infused whipped cream.

Ingredients

340 g water
225 g white sugar
115 g dark brown sugar
50 g canned pumpkin puree
1 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp nutmeg

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add all ingredients except the pumpkin pure.
  2. Heat on medium until the sugar dissolves. Whisk intermittently.
  3. Once dissolved, add pumpkin puree and whisk until everything is incorporated.
  4. Turn off heat, let the saucepan cool.
  5. Store in a squeeze bottle or your container of choice.
