Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3 to 4 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur (recommended: Frangelico), optional
4 ounces (1/2 cup) Kahlua

Steps:

  • For the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard the ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor.
