Pumpkin Spice Syrup

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 HEAPING tbsp pumpkin puree (canned stuff is perfect!)

Preparation

Step 1

In a small pot, dissolve the sugar in the water over medium heat.
Add remaining ingredients and cook for about 7 minutes on medium-high heat. You don’t want to boil the mixture, just simmer it so all the flavors come together, stirring frequently.
Strain mixture using cheesecloth or a tea towel. (I didn’t have a cheesecloth or tea towel, so I just strained mine in a wire/mesh strainer. If you want a finer syrup, make sure to use a cheesecloth or tea towel)
Pour into small bottles and store in the refrigerator.
