this spiced latte syrup is an absolute staple for fall and the holidays! It’s ultra versatile and festive.

Very excited to introduce you today to this festive, fall-y, spiced syrup. I’ve been making it all fall, and I can’t wait to make it all throughout the holidays too, because it easily passes for a gingerbread syrup. I use fresh ginger in it, and it gives it the most perfect spicy kick. Another thing I love about this syrup is that it’s different from your traditional psl-it has all those wonderful spices and flavors but no pumpkin. Use it for lattes and to make the most incredible iced latte with spiced sweet cream.

Harvest Spiced Syrup

This spiced syrup is versatile and festive. It's one of my staples for fall and the holidays.

Servings 1 3/4 cups syrup approx

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 heaping Tbsp fresh ginger* or 1 heaping tsp ground
a couple whole cloves or 1/8 tsp ground
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a medium saucepan combine all ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat and simmer syrup for 30-40 min until reduced and syrupy. Do not stir syrup while it's cooking, otherwise it will crystallize. Dip a pastry brush in water and frequently brush down the saucepan while the syrup cooks so all the sugar melts evenly.
Strain syrup into a glass jar. Can store at room temp or in the fridge.

Notes

*I peel a small knob of ginger with the back of a spoon and slice it before adding to the pot.

Use fresh spices if possible.
