What is Starbucks pumpkin spice syrup?
The pumpkin spice syrup is a tiny bit different from this one since it has condensed skim milk in it but I figured that trying to make this recipe dairy free will be better. Allowing everyone, even those with dairy sensitivity to enjoy their favorite fall drink.
It does taste extremely similar hence why I called it a copycat recipe. When mixed with your milk of choice and coffee or espresso, you will notice that it tastes almost identical to the real deal!
