Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 heat-resistant spoon or rubber spatula
- 8 inches square of cheesecloth
- 4-6 inches of string
- 1 funnel
- 1 bottle or jar that can hold at least 4 c of syrup
Ingredients
- 2-3 whole cinnamon sticks
- 1 Tbs whole cloves
- 1 Tbs whole nutmeg
- 1 Tbs whole allspice
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cup water
Instructions
- Pile your spice in the center of a cheesecloth. Wrap the spices up and tie at the top with a string, making a little spice bundle. It doesn’t need to be pretty, it just needs to stay together!
- Bring the water to a boil (do not salt the water, even if you are at high altitude). Gently drop in your spice package and seep the spices in the boiling water for 10 minutes.
- After removing the spices, pour the sugar into the spice-infused water.
- Stir the sugar water gently until the sugar has completely dissolved (this only takes a 2-3 minutes). You’ll know the sugar has dissolved when you can’t see the grains anymore. The liquid will be a nice light caramel-y color.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Using the funnel, pour the syrup into your bottle or jar. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Add to your coffee, apple cider, cocktails, or whatever you choose!
