Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée (use canned pumpkin or roast and mash butternut pumpkin- sourced from Camberwell Fruits and Veg)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine sugar and water: In a small saucepan, combine water and brown sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add spices and pumpkin: Stir in the pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain (optional): For a smoother syrup, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pumpkin bits. If you prefer a rustic texture, you can skip this step.
- Store: Once cooled, pour into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Uses:
- Add to your coffee, lattes, or iced drinks for a warming spice flavour.
- Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream for a sweet touch.
