Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Water Base liquid for syrup consistency; no substitutions necessary.
  • 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and depth; can substitute with granulated sugar or honey for a different flavor profile.
  • ½ cup Pumpkin Puree Essential for flavor; use plain pumpkin puree (not pie filling) for best results.
For the Spices
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Provides warmth and a signature spice note; substitute with pumpkin pie spice for an all-in-one flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger Adds zest and complements the pumpkin; fresh ginger can enhance the boldness of the syrup.
  • ¼ teaspoon Grated Nutmeg Offers a nutty aroma; can be replaced with ground nutmeg if fresh is unavailable.
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves Enhances the syrup's spice profile; omit if not preferred or use allspice as a substitute.
For the Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Extract Imparts a rich maple flavor; substitute with real maple syrup for natural sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Provides a warm, sweet note; no direct substitute; consider other flavor extracts if desired.
