What Ingredients Are in Pumpkin Spice Syrup?

Most would agree that the essential ingredients for making spice pumpkin syrup include:

• Pumpkin or pumpkin puree
• Natural sweeteners or sugar
• Nutmeg
• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Allspice
• Cardamom
• Cloves
• Vanilla extract

The pumpkin will normally be peeled, chopped, and roasted or boiled down so that it can be blended with the other ingredients. 

Sweetening the Deal

With regard to sweeteners, sugar and brown sugar are the most common choices to balance out those warm spices. Brown sugar has a richer flavor and gives a darker complexion to the syrup. However, keep in mind the amount of sugar needed to sweeten the syrup starts to add up! If you'd rather save your time and lower the sugar, Skinny Mixes offers a delicous Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice syrup that packs all the flavor, with 0 sugar, 0 calories and 0 carbs!

The spice blend used gives pumpkin spice syrup a distinctive flavor and identity of its own. Not all of the spices in the list above are necessary to make pumpkin spice syrup, but they are the most commonly used.
