Add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for another 10 minutes.
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl or large jar and strain syrup. Discard solids. Pour into an airtight storage container and transfer to refrigerator. Contents may settle, so just give it a quick shake before enjoying pumpkin spice deliciousness in your morning coffee or latte. I like 2-3 tablespoons of syrup stirred in to each cup, but you may prefer more or less. Make it your own!
Notes
* You can easily substitute with ground spices. You can simply use 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, or, if you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, substitute with 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves.
