Hey friends! It’s that time of year again—pumpkin spice season! And while I love indulging in all the cozy fall flavors, I don’t love all the sugar that often comes with it. So, I whipped up this super easy Low Sugar Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup that’s naturally sweetened with coconut palm sugar and packed with real pumpkin purée. You can use it in everything from lattes to cocktails, and trust me, it’s a game-changer!

  • Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool, letting the flavors develop. For a stronger pumpkin flavor, let the syrup sit longer before straining. Strain through a mesh strainer into an airtight container, then strain again to remove any remaining pumpkin purée.
  • Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use it for lattes, mocktails, or cocktails.

Cooking Tips

1. Simmer, Don’t Boil: When you’re heating up the mixture, be sure to keep it at a simmer. Boiling can cause the sugars to caramelize too quickly and affect the flavor.
2. Strain for Smoothness: Use a fine mesh strainer to get that silky, smooth syrup texture. If you have one, a double strain really helps eliminate any leftover pumpkin pulp for a more professional feel.
3. Storage is Key: Store your syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. This is the perfect make-ahead recipe to have on hand for all your fall drink needs.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Want to Have

  • Fine Mesh Strainer: To get that perfectly smooth syrup, you’ll want to strain out the pumpkin purée, leaving you with just the pumpkin-spiced goodness.
  • Airtight Jar: For storage, I recommend using a mason jar or any airtight glass container to keep your syrup fresh. Plus, it looks cute on the counter or in the fridge!
  • Small Whisk or Spatula: You’ll need something to stir with as the syrup heats, and a whisk can help break up any clumps from the pumpkin spice.
