🍁Are you there yet? Pumpkin spice on your radar? 🎃 See Pumpkin Spice RECIPE below.👇🏻
🍁We went for our FIRST pumpkin spice 🎃 beverage of the season at Qwalimak Coffee. It’s SO GOOD for anyone local!
🎃PUMPKIN SPICE RECIPE (from Yerba Mate Culture):
INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240 ml) water
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (about 80 g) pure pumpkin purée
1 1/2 ground cinnamon
1/2 ground ginger
1/4 ground nutmeg
1/8 ground cloves
1/8 ground allspice
small pinch of fine sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and salt to a saucepan. Whisk until combined.
Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sugars dissolve and the mixture reaches a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat slightly and simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the syrup to boil vigorously.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the syrup rest for about 5 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a heatproof bowl or measuring jug.
Allow the syrup to cool, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate.
NOTES
•Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
•Start with 1–2 tablespoons of syrup per drink and adjust to taste.
•The syrup should be smooth and pourable rather than thick like a sauce.
•Some natural settling can occur because the recipe contains real pumpkin. Shake gently before using.
•Store refrigerated and use within about 7–10 days.
