  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1/4 cup oat milk or milk of choice
  • ice

Instructions
 

  • Combine the brown sugar, water, ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down and allow to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has started to thicken.
  • Pour your syrup into a storage container and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker cup with ice. Add your espresso shots, 1-3 teaspoons of the spice syrup (depending on how sweet you want your drink) and the pumpkin puree. Shake for 2 minutes.
  • Fill a glass with ice and pour the shaken espresso over the ice. Finish with a splash of oat milk and enjoy! Although not in the original recipe, you could add a dash of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent experience!
