Directions

  1. Place ginger, cinnamon sticks, allspice, peppercorns, nutmeg, and cloves together in a cheesecloth pouch or a large tea bag infuser.

  2. Combine water and spice bag in a large pot, bring to a boil. Boil, adding more water as necessary as water evaporates, until flavors are blended and 6 to 8 cups of liquid remain, about 45 minutes. Remove spice bag, when cool enough to handle, squeeze any excess liquid back into the pot.

  3. Stir sugar and honey into spiced water, continue boiling until desired syrup consistency is reached, 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to clean bottles or jars to store.

Recipe Note

This simple, flavorful recipe is great as a sweetener in your favorite hot beverages and smoothies or as a topping on oatmeal, pancakes, pork, or fruit salad (apples, pears, peaches). It has a very heartwarming flavor, perfect for a cold day. Inspired by Billy's Favorite Gingerbread Spiced Coffee Syrup. I found this preparation method to be a lot easier.
