Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Don’t bother spending a fortune on a pumpkin spice latte when you can easily make one at home…and it tastes sooo much better!

I never got the hype around pumpkin spice lattes. (More of a mocha kind of gal.) The handful of times I’ve tried them they were overwhelmingly sweet and there was no real pumpkin flavor. But I’m a lover of all things fall, and I like the idea of a pumpkin spice latte, so I set off trying to come up with a way to make them at home.

What I landed on was a delicious, thick syrup spiced with cinnamon, maple, ginger and nutmeg and I found out that I like it even better served over vanilla ice cream than I do blended with coffee (although that ain’t half bad either!).
