I saw one leaf on the ground so that means it’s time for a batch of this Fall Spice Syrup!
This Fall Spice Syrup is the foundation for so many of my syrups this time of year – think Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cider, Gingerbread – a mother syrup if you will! Add in Pumpkin puree and ginger to the base recipe for the Best Pumpkin Spice latte you’ll ever have or switch out the water for apple juice for an amazing Apple Cider Syrup.
A key tip that is none negotiable: is to toast your spices! Direct heat contact will will bring out more of their flavor & make your whole house smell like a William Sonoma.
