I just made pumkin spice syrup for coffee.... yum yum. Very versatile. I discovered not only can you use it for coffee, but I used it for muffins & pumpkin cupcakes. I am going to try it to make pumpkin flavored BC

I didn't have cheesecloth, I used a fine mesh sieve. Worked fine.

Pumpkin Spice Syrup and Latte by Cook Like a Champion



Pumpkin Spice Syrup Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups sugar 4 cinnamon sticks 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 tablespoons pumpkin purée
I didn't have cinnamon sticks, so used plain ole cinnamon & instead of nutmeg/ginger/cloves, I used 2-3 tsp of pumpkin spice.

Directions:
Combine water and sugar in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has completely dissolved. Add the cinnamon sticks, then whisk in remaining ingredients. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, but do not let the mixture come to a boil (reduce heat if necessary). Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Strain syrup through cheesecloth into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.

To make a pumpkin spice latte, simply add about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of syrup for each shot of espresso, or coffee. For an iced latte, stir together syrup and espresso before adding desired amount of cold milk. For a hot latte, add about 5 ounces of steamed milk and stir to combine. Taste and adjust syrup accordingly. Top with whipped cream.

Update: Thanks to some of the commenters, I’ve since started making this using cinnamon sticks. Using them results in a much smoother texture, and the end product is not as thick. I’ve updated the recipe to include this change.
