Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 oz (120 g) pumpkin flesh
- 1 cups (227 g) agave syrup
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp all spice
- 0.5 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Cut the pumpkin into even-sized pieces and steam until soft. If using a pot, place the pumpkin in a metal sieve above a small amount of boiling water, ensuring the pumpkin isn’t touching the water.
- Blend the steamed pumpkin until completely smooth using a hand blender or food processor.
- In a clean, dry pot, combine 300 grams of agave syrup and all spices. Cook over very low heat for 3 minutes.
- Add the pureed pumpkin and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Do not boil.
- Sterilize a jar by rinsing it with boiling water.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into the sterilized jar to remove impurities.
- Seal the jar immediately and refrigerate to cool.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of syrup to your latte, or as desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, roast the pumpkin before steaming.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for agave, but adjust the amount to taste; it’s sweeter.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; it may thicken slightly.
