Hello everyone and Happy Fall!!
I don't know about you but this family loves their coffee. We have had a coffee bar set-up in our house ever since we bought our first house over 4 years ago, when we moved we built one right into our new house.
In the midst of decorating for Fall I decided not only does this space need its own special decor but I would take this excuse to make some of my own syrups. I recently was told I needed to cut all artificial sugar and if I am being honest I didn't realize just how much I was consuming. My favorite one? Our sugar free Vanilla coffee syrup for Americanos and Lattes.
So in the video below I show you how I decorated our coffee bar for Fall and how to make a pumpkin coffee syrup, a vanilla coffee syrup and a honey simple syrup. I am sharing the recipes below so you can pin them for later. Please let me know in the video comments what your favorite fall coffee flavor and if you tried making the syrup.
Pumpkin Coffee Syrup:
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 TBS pumpkin pie spice
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
- Mix all items in a pot and bring to a boil
- Lower heat and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce has thickened
- Cool and pour into airtight container
- Enjoy :)
Vanilla Coffe Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 TBS vanilla extract
- 1 Vanilla bean- optional
- Mix all items in a pot and bring to a boil. I scraped the vanilla beans and added them and the pod.
- Lower heat and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce has thickened
- Remove vanilla beans if you desire
- Cool and pour into airtight container
- Enjoy :)
Honey Simple Syrup:
I wanted to add this one for multiple uses, making honey into syrup makes it easier to use in tea and coffee because it dissolves better. My doctor also mentioned that honey is the best sweetener for me to use right now. This is the simplest of the three.
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup water
- Mix honey and water in pot, heat on stovetop
- Turn heat off right before it boils
- Cool and pour into airtight container
- Enjoy :)
