Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine water and sugar substitute: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar substitute. Stir well to ensure even mixing before heating.
- Simmer the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar substitute is completely dissolved. This creates the syrup base.
- Add pumpkin and spices: Stir in the canned pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, mixing continuously until the pumpkin is fully blended and the syrup becomes smooth.
- Simmer to meld flavors: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken the syrup slightly and deepen the pumpkin spice flavor.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla: Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the syrup with a rich aroma.
- Cool and strain: Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Then strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pumpkin solids, ensuring a smooth syrup texture.
- Store appropriately: Pour the finished syrup into a clean jar or bottle with a lid. Refrigerate and store for up to two weeks.
- Serve with coffee: When ready to use, add your desired amount of syrup to coffee or lattes and stir well to enjoy the cozy pumpkin spice flavor.
Notes
- Use a natural granulated sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit to keep the syrup sugar-free.
- Straining the syrup after cooking is essential for a smooth texture without pumpkin bits.
- Store syrup in the refrigerator and consume within two weeks for best freshness.
- This syrup is perfect for customizing coffee, lattes, or even desserts like oatmeal or yogurt.
- If a thicker syrup is preferred, simmer for an additional few minutes but be careful not to burn the mixture.
