When thinking about fall, I think about pumpkin pie, and last winter I found the joy of iced pumpkin spiced coffee at Dunkin Donuts. Even the half caf version kept me up all night, so I rarely indulged, usually only when driving to and from NTB. It was so good, and the brown sugar crystals at the bottom were something to look forward to. I saw recently a funny article about a Dunkin Donut manager giving his teenaged employee leeway to put what ever he wanted to on the large sign advertising its return for the season https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/ridiculous-dunkin-donuts-sign-viral and it made me want to have some again.

I tried adding pumpkin pie spice alone to my coffee but it wasn't as good. So I found this recipe and ended up tripling it by accident when I put in 2 Tablespoons (should have been teaspoons) in the pan, so I needed to triple the rest. I didn't have any canned pumpkin so I left it out, and it is still very good. I froze some and have the rest in my refrigerator in a little glass pouring bottle for salad dressing. I boiled then simmered it for a lot longer than called for, maybe about 15 minutes. When it cooled, it was finally thicker, like syrup. It's very good. Sometimes I add additional sugar to the cup I'm adding it too if in need of more carbs/sweet flavor, but the nice thing is, you can add the amount you desire.

Enjoy, if you are a pumpkin pie spice lover,

Ingredients
3/4 Cup Water
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Pumpkin Purée
2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
US Customary - Metric

Instructions
Add everything to a small pot, whisk together and bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes. Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer, or a nut milk bag. (You may want to let it cool first if using a nut milk bag). This strains out the pulpiness and leaves you with perfect syrup.

Recipe Notes
To make a pumpkin spice latte or coffee, simply stir 1 tablespoon of syrup, or to taste, into your latte or coffee. Store in the fridge for about a week.
