# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine water and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to the saucepan. Stir and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to release the spices' aroma.
03 -
Whisk in pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
04 -
Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly.
05 -
Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely. Strain to achieve a smoother texture if desired. Transfer to a clean, airtight glass container.
06 -
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Shake well before each use to recombine any natural separation.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use pure pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling for authentic flavor and texture.
02 -
Sweetness can be adjusted by substituting or varying sugar quantity, using monkfruit or maple syrup as alternatives.
03 -
Straining the syrup enhances smoothness, especially when used in cold beverages.
04 -
For long-term storage and convenient servings, freeze syrup in ice cube trays.
05 -
Shake well prior to use due to natural ingredient separation during storage.
