Notes
- The syrup can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, just shake the bottle very well before using it - I honestly doubt that it can last that long anyway, it will surely be used really quickly
- If you use real pumpkin instead of the canned one, make sure you puree it to a fine consistency. The pumpkin can be boiled or baked, it doesn't really matter much.
- I highly recommend storing it in the fridge before using, the syrup is even more flavourful when it's cold, rather than room temperature or hot.
