Notes
You can substitute brown sugar for white sugar for a richer flavor, or use maple syrup instead for a unique twist. If pumpkin pie spice is unavailable, use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Syrup can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks; shake before using as settling may occur. If syrup is too thick, add a splash of water and stir; if too thin, simmer a bit longer. Always strain thoroughly for a smooth texture.
