Grab a medium saucepan and pour in the water and sugar. Heat on medium heat and stir to mix. Heat for approximately 5 minutes stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
Next, add in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Continue to heat over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is well combined and a bit thicker.
Take the vanilla bean pod, slice vertically, and scrape out the tiny black vanilla caviar within. You can discard the empty vanilla pod.
Remove your saucepan from the direct heat and stir in the vanilla extract and vanilla caviar.
Let the syrup cool for a couple minutes then strain (recommend 90 grade cheese cloth). This removes any solid pieces.
The syrup is immediately ready to use in your next latté or other beverage of choice
For storage: Let the syrup cool to room temp before storing in an airtight clean container (I like to use flip top jars). The syrup will stay fresh in a refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
