Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cloves

Method
 

  1. Simmer for 10 minutes
  2. Strain (optional) - especially if you don't want the thickness of the pumpkin puree in your coffee
  3. To remove more puree, use cheesecloth or a coffee filter
  4. Store in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator

Notes

Shelf life & storage: Because it has real pumpkin puree in it, store in a sealed glass jar, in the fridge, 5–7 days. If you won't use much, make in smaller batches to avoid waste.
To use: Experiment with the amount you want for desired taste. It's good to start with about 2 tbsp and go from there. With coffee, depth of taste will also depend on if you're adding any cream or sugar (or other sweetener) to the coffee.
Straining: Keeping the thickness of the syrup by not straining the  puree does give a richer flavor - so give it a try if you're adventurous!
Good in hot or iced coffee, over ice cream, drizzled on crepes, and wherever you want a hint of autumn in your meals!
Finished amount will vary depending on whether or not you strained the puree out.
