    Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte

    Something about Pumpkin Spice Latte screams fall!  People go mad for this Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.  Fragrant spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are happily wafting together in this robust pumpkin-flavored syrup.

    And guess what?  Besides all those earthy spices, it's got real pumpkin in it too.  And guess what else else?  It's easy to make and it tastes so amazing.  

    Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte

    In reality, you can have it readily available in 15 minutes, just like a Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte version except your version is way cheaper, better and easy to assemble once you make the syrup.

    So, not only do you have it right in your little paws quicker than driving to your nearest Starbuck's, you can save a bunch of money by not buying them everyday and you also save on gas!

    Wootwoot! And while you're at it, you can make a double batch and share it with your co-workers and boss!  (You're welcome!)  They will think you're the best thing since chocolate. Well almost...cuz nothing beats chocolate. 🙂

    Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte

    With this delicious Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup, you can use splenda or sugar, depending on what you like.  (I like knowing I have the option to make either, especially when I make it for friends or family that may not want those extra calories.

    It's no wonder Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup is a holiday favorite.  The latte is just icing on the coffee right?  Don't forget the whipped cream or fat free whipped cream, maybe some drizzles of caramel sauce and some pinches of cinnamon for some sweet decoration skills.

    Home-Made Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte

    Ingredients You Need

    • pumpkin puree, fresh or canned
    • sugar or Splenda or Lakanto
    • vanilla extract
    • water
    • cinnamon
    • nutmeg
    • cloves
    • ginger

    How To Make Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe

    1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
    2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep syrup from burning.
    3. Let mixture cook together like syrup and begins to coat the spoon (for about 10-15 minutes), then remove from heat.
    4. Refrigerate in a heat-proof container.
    5. The syrup will thicken a bit in the refrigerator, but will become syrup again when heated.

    How To Make Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

    1. Heat 3-4 tablespoons syrup with 2 cups milk in microwave (adjust milk depending on pumpkin flavor desired)
    2. Pour into a blender or whisk until frothy, for about ten seconds (to make it thick and prevent the pumpkin from settling on the bottom).
    3. Pour ½ cup of the pumpkin spice mixture into a large mug.
    4. Top it off with strong, hot coffee.
    5. Add some whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a pinch of cinnamon.
    6. Store the rest of the latte mixture in the fridge for up to a week, sealed. Shake before using.

    Flavor Options

    • Less Fat: You can also use 2 tablespoons syrup + 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream instead of ½ cup of latte if you want another option, cutting down the fat. 
    • More Pumpkin Flavor: Add a couple more tablespoons to the syrup mixture, if you want more pumpkin-y flavor.
    • More Spice Flavor: If you use the best of spices, you even get more fragrant flavors. Yum!

    The warmth of the holidays comes through in whatever you make, whether it's lattes, cappuccinos or steamers.  You can also add the some of this syrup to enhance your favorite pumpkin bread, waffles, pancakes, donuts, ciders or smoothies, just to mention a few fall inspirational ideas.

    Are you ready to stay and venture 'in' for the Pumpkin Spice Latte Effect?  Let's!  Psst...You need to try this “CopyCat” Starbucks Pumpkin Pound Cake. It's a winner!

      Just made this and tried it with in a latte. I loved it but will try sugar substitute next time.

      Very easy to make. I used 1/2 cup pumpkin to cut the sweetness.

      This is by far the best pumpkin syrup i’ve ever had. I poured out my store bought syrups and refilled them with this recipe. Thank you so much for nailing it! It’s like sipping pumpkin pie 🤤 i have sent this link to EVERYONE 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

      Hmmm I did something wrong.. it never reduced to a syrup… pretty sure I have a pumpkin spice butter at this point. I used half sugar half brown sugar is that why it didn’t reduce? I cooked forever, it just never got to the right reduction to be a syrup!? Still tastes yummy though..

      Can you use this for iced coffee?

      • Kim Lange says

        August 01, 2021 at 2:09 pm

        I don't see why not? I'd give it a try!

        10-14 days. 🙂 Thank you so much Dimitrios. 😉

      HI there! I own a coffee shop in Pittsburgh Pa! I make all of my own syrups and flavorings. With fall season upon us, I need to make a good pumpkin spice syrup! however, every recipe I have tried is spicy enough but the pumpkin flavor just doesn't seem to want to come through!!! Ive tried pumpkin puree, pumpkin butter, pumpkin pie extract! if you have any advice PLEASE SHARE!

      What is the shelf life? And how do I store it properly?

      • Kim Lange says

        September 15, 2020 at 6:58 pm

        Store in the fridge for about a week CJ. 🙂

        September 14, 2020 at 6:20 pm

        Sure! Give it a try Tracey!

      Can you freeze it?

      • Kim Lange says

        June 26, 2020 at 12:57 pm

        I would think you could because frozen pumpkin puree will last for 4-5 months if stored correctly. Give it a try and let us know!

    11. Jessica says

      September 23, 2019 at 1:55 pm

      Is it supposed to be cooled before going into the refrigerator?

      • Kim Lange says

        September 23, 2019 at 4:11 pm

        It doesn't have to be. Hope you enjoy Jessica!! 😉

      September 23, 2019 at 10:12 am

      Ooooh can I just pour this over pancakes instead?!! Looks so pumpkin-y and perfect!

    13. Grace says

      September 06, 2019 at 9:09 am

      This turned out great! After making it once, you can always tweak the spice ratios to your taste, too (or the sugar for that matter). The recipe (as is) is wonderful, but I also like making it with brown sugar instead of white.

      *This made 2 cups of sauce for me, which is about 32 Tbsp. However the yield depends on how long you let the syrup reduce, too.

      • Kim Lange says

        September 06, 2019 at 10:31 am

        That's so awesome Grace! Brown sugar sounds great as a replacement for white sugar too. Thanks so much for sharing! xo

    14. Debra Pettibone says

      February 05, 2019 at 9:24 am

      I am diabetic and can’t do the sugar. However, I normally sweeten my coffee and tea with pure stevia extract. Can this recipe be made WITHOUT the sugar and then just use my stevia each time I make my latte?

      • Kim Lange says

        February 05, 2019 at 8:54 pm

        Hi Debra! You need sugar to get it to that syrupy texture, so I don't think that would work but if you try it, let us know. 🙂

    15. Amanda Lau says

      November 18, 2018 at 6:28 am

      Can you use pumpkin pie spice rather than all of the other spices?

      • Kim Lange says

        November 18, 2018 at 8:04 am

        Yes you could Amanda. That should be fine. Hope you enjoy!

    16. JOleen says

      November 09, 2018 at 3:57 pm

      This was a little too heavy on the “spice” to me. I was hoping more of a “pumpkin” flavor. It’s still delicious though

      • Kim Lange says

        November 09, 2018 at 4:44 pm

        Maybe you could add just add less spice next time, since you've tried it? Thank you for your comment and hanging out. Hope you stay around! Happy Friday! 🙂

    17. WELSHMum says

      November 03, 2018 at 11:12 pm

      I'm from the UK and decent pumpkin syrup is hard to come by. I wanted something using natural ingredients. This fits the bill and tastes delicious. Will be making more!

    18. Eli says

      October 22, 2018 at 8:51 pm

      Hi Kim,

      Thanks for your reply. I see that you suggest sugar substitutes. Have you tried the recipe with less sugar? If so, does the consistency suffer at all? I'd like to pair this sauce with a Apple Cider French Toast, as opposed to using it as a syrup base in lattes. I'm thinking about playing with it this week, but don't want to reinvent any wheels.

      Thank you!
      Eli

      • Kim Lange says

        October 23, 2018 at 8:24 am

        Hi Eli, that sounds wonderful with the Apple Cider French Toast. YUM! I wouldn't use less sugar, because you need that sugar to make the syrup, but I think a safe and less sugar option would be to use sugar free syrup and add in some of the pumpkin spice syrup. I think just putting the syrup on alone might be over-powering or the right consistency, but you could always sample it and then decide for yourself. Hope that helps!

    19. Eli says

      October 22, 2018 at 4:19 pm

      Hi Tess,

      Can you please let me know how many estimated servings he original recipe produces based on the 2-3 Tbsp serving recommendation you provide?

      Thank you,
      Eli

      • Kim Lange says

        October 22, 2018 at 6:55 pm

        Eli, I would say approx 16 tablespoons. Hope that helps and enjoy!! Thanks!!

    20. AKiko says

      October 17, 2017 at 12:00 am

      is there a substitute for splenda?

      • ChocolaTess says

        October 17, 2017 at 10:28 am

        AKiko,
        Any type of sugar or substitute like Steviva would probably work. Maybe honey, but haven't tried it. Hope that helps

      • Jae says

        October 28, 2019 at 9:27 pm

        You could try Lankato Monkfruit Sweetener. They make regular or Golden. I love it. I have Type 1 Diabetes and so this is my go to sweetener. Tastes the closest to real sugar in my opinion without the heavy cooling effect that other sweeteners can have. Like Xylitol or Erythritol. Careful tho it tatses much sweeter than sugar to me.

    21. Stacey says

      October 15, 2017 at 5:11 pm

      How long does the syrup last in fridge? Just the syrup not the latte mix.

      • ChocolaTess says

        October 15, 2017 at 6:46 pm

        Up 2 weeks refrigerated Stacey. 😀

    22. Rachel says

      October 13, 2017 at 9:01 pm

      Can this be water bath canned?

      • ChocolaTess says

        October 14, 2017 at 6:59 pm

        Rachel, I have no idea...I'm not up on my skills in water bath canning. If you try it, please let us know! 😀
