So your craving for Pumpkin Spice has hit and sure you can go to your local coffee shop, restaurant, or grocery store to satisfy your craving but what about making your own? This homemade pumpkin spice syrup will take you less than 10 minutes and only needs 4 ingredients!

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup
