Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup
Everyone loves that time of year when the famed Starbucks spiced pumpkin latte hits the stands again. It really doesn’t feel like fall until I get my hands on one of those drinks to be completely honest! There’s something about the warm cozy feeling of holding a warm drink when the leaves start changing colors that’s just… perfect.
Well, I truthfully got sick of how expensive the Starbucks spiced pumpkin latte is at the store, so I decided to make my own at home! I have an espresso machine that I use to make mine with, but if you don’t have one – no worries, this pumpkin spice latte syrup recipe will work perfectly with regular coffee!
What is Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup?
This pumpkin spice latte syrup is really quite simple. We’re combining a few ingredients (including pumpkin, obv.) in a saucepan and simmering them until the consistency can coat the back of a spoon – it’ll look almost like a simple syrup.
This pumpkin spice latte syrup can be used with a shot of espresso and some steamed milk to make a regular latte, or you can use regular coffee in place of the espresso and still have a tasty result!
Here’s a few things I think you should enjoy with your homemade pumpkin spice latte…
Equipment you may need…
- Saucepan: I love this saucepan from Le Creuset, but any saucepan will do for this pumpkin spice latte syrup!
- Mixing bowls: I love these glass mixing bowls from Amazon. They’re especially perfect for food photography.
- Wooden spoon: I only use wooden spoons and rubber spatulas when I’m baking, and I love these!
- Measuring cups/spoons: I’ve been linking these in all of my posts because I love them SO much! They are beautiful and look just like some other expensive ones on the market (but wayyy cheaper).

- Always stir the pumpkin spice latte syrup before you use it. Add 2 Tbsp of your pumpkin spice latte syrup to your cup.
