Hello! I’m Erica Lea. I’m a mom of three living in northern Minnesota (AKA The Frozen North). Here on Buttered Side Up I share recipes I have tried & modified (to be a tad healthier) and found to be delicious. My main focus is recipes with a healthy touch. You’ll find that I like to substitute organic unrefined ingredients quite often. But you won’t find that I skimp on good, natural fat. Butter > margarine.

Definitely trying this! So delicious!
OH spiced pumpkin!!! All my friends laugh at me because I like Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes because it does NOT contain pumpkin. 😉 Yes I'm that girl who wants the pumpkin spice not spiced pumpkin. I know crazy, huh? This sounds like it would be delicious over ice cream. How long does it last refrigerated? I am also going to do up the spiced syrup once I get the right ratios for the pumpkin spice as I have all the individual ingredients. Have a lovely week!!!!
Wow, this coffee syrup sounds so delicious! And it has pumpkin spice – bonus yum!!
Yum! I'm bookmarking it, and saving the recipe for later!! Thanks for sharing it, Erica!
Starbuck's PSLs are my weakness but they are soooooo bad for you! So glad you made this less guilty syrup that probably tastes better than the sugary stuff!
I made this, YUM!, and I have what feels like a dumb question. When I strain it, is the syrup the liquid that drains off or other part? I ask because I kept the other part, but it's more a gooey glob than a pourable syrup (maybe I overcooked it?), so now I'm thinking maybe I kept the wrong part, but the liquid that I drained off was thin and didn't look like yours. Still using it, because it's delicious, but hoping to make it turn out like yours next time! Thank you in advance!
Yep – you save the syrup that drains off and discard the solids. The syrup that I got is fairly thin, but if yours seems too watery you could boil it a bit longer to thicken it up. To make it easier to strain, you could first run it through a fine-mesh sieve, and then through the cheesecloth.
Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Ooooh…over ice cream sounds amazing! It should keep in the refrigerator for at least a week. 🙂
Mmhmm…#pumpkinspiceallthethings. 😀
Hope you enjoy, Barb! 🙂
I definitely think it tastes better than Starbucks! 🙂 Of course, I think homemade coffee almost always tastes better than coffee shop coffee. 🙂
Thank you! Can't wait to try again.
Could I use coconut sugar instead of rapadura?
That should work just fine!
