Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree fresh or canned
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep syrup from burning.
  • Let the mixture cook together until it becomes syrupy and begins to coat the spoon (for about 10-15 minutes), then remove from heat.
  • Refrigerate in a heat-proof container.
  • The syrup will thicken a bit in the refrigerator but will become syrupy again when heated.
  • To make the latte pull 2 shots of espresso, pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons of syrup and fill with steamed milk.

Notes

Makes approximately 1 pint (32 tablespoons)
Using espresso gives a much stronger coffee flavor but you can use strong brewed coffee if you prefer.
Storage - Once cool to room temperature, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
