Ingredient Notes

Pumpkin purée
You can’t make pumpkin spice syrup without real pumpkin since it just won’t taste the same. It’s sold in cans for about less than $2.00.
Granulated sugar
Can’t have simple syrup without sugar.
Brown sugar
Gives the syrup a richer, deeper sweetness to pumpkin spice syrup so I use half regular sugar and half brown sugar. Light or dark brown sugar both work so you what you have.
Vanilla extract
Magically turns a good recipe into great recipe as a flavor enhancer.
Ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves
All four spices are blended together to make pumpkin spice so you can’t leave any out.
