Ingredients
  

For the Syrup Base
  • 1 cup Water Acts as the essential liquid foundation for your syrup.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and depth; swap for honey for a unique flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree Delivers authentic pumpkin taste; use plain puree, not pie filling.
For the Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses warmth and spice; consider pumpkin pie spice as a substitute.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger Adds a bit of zing; optional but enhances warmth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Grated Nutmeg Brings a nutty note; allspice can be used in its place.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves Offers a strong, aromatic flavor; omit for a milder taste.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Extract Essential for that rich maple flavor; use maple syrup as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances sweetness and aroma; optional but highly recommended.

Equipment

  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rich Maple Pumpkin Coffee Syrup
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. Whisk together thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and create a smooth mixture before heating.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, ensuring it doesn’t boil. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the syrup thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Once the syrup has reached the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of maple extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adding the extracts off the heat preserves their aromatic qualities.
  4. Allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a clean glass jar or container. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
