Pumpkin Spice Syrup Ingredients

  • Sugar – Regular granulated white sugar is what we used for this recipe.
  • Pumpkin pie spice – You can buy pumpkin pie spice at the store, but I like to make it myself with this  homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe.
  • Filtered water – Make sure you’re using filtered water as you don’t want any flavor from the water in the syrup.

How do you make pumpkin spice syrup? (Step-by-step)

First, in a sauce pan or microwave safe container, combine all ingredients and stir.

⭐ Next, heat until sugar is fully dissolved and mixture becomes fragrant. Stir frequently.

Then, continue heating for at least 5 – 10 minutes, but do not bring to a boil (if using the microwave you can do a few 3 minute cycles, stirring and allowing it to rest a bit in between).

Finally, filter the syrup with a few layers of cheese cloth – you will need to replace the cheese cloth a few times as the spices will clog it about 1/3 the way through. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

My daughter loves to help me in the kitchen ❤

Pumpkin spice syrup like Starbucks

Confession:  I don’t really go to Starbucks.  Like, almost ever.  I know, I know.  What with all the pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING, I’m sure you probably thought the local barista knew my name and order by heart.  Alas, no.  It’s not that I don’t enjoy a Venti now and again, it’s just that I always have five kids in tow.

And if I get it, they’ll want it, and then I either have to listen to the sobs of dismay from saying no, or shell out a mortgage payment to get them each something.  Neither of which is very appealing.  (And if we’re being completely honest, I actually prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee.  There, I said it.)

Heat and stir until you’re sure the sugar is completely dissolved.

Any which way, I do love love love Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, so rather than missing out another year I went ahead and fixed my own Pumpkin Spiced Simple Syrup and now I can make them at home whenever I want!  (read = DANGER, DANGER!).

Pumpkin Spice Syrup
Use a fine strainer or cheesecloth to strain the spices from the syrup.

Pumpkin spice syrup using the microwave or stove top

This flavored syrup is so incredibly easy to make that I’m kind of kicking myself for not doing it before.  I didn’t even use the stove! (But, you can if you’re not into microwaves.  I heart my microwave though.)  I’ve mostly been using the syrup (which is not, by the way, a pancake syrup consistency – although you could make it that way if you wanted) in my morning coffee, but you can use it to flavor anything.

Hot tea, iced tea, milk, desserts,  and my personal favorite, Pumpkin Spice Frozen Coffee Drinks – but really, pretty much anything you want!

You can strain it twice if necessary. Make sure all the spice bits are removed from the syrup.

I like to store it in fun fancy bottles, but you can use any type of bottle you have on hand!

Tools we love

  • Keurig coffee maker – Confession: we actually have two Keurig’s in our house.  One in the kitchen and one in the office.  This single brew machine makes a damn fine cup of coffee, and quickly.  Also, it’s super cute.  Mine are turqouise (in the office) and retro blue (in the kitchen).

Perfect for fall, but also delicious any time of year.
