Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield Makes four 12-ounce bottles (about 6 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups sugar
24 cardamom pods, crushed (1 tablespoon)
4 cinnamon sticks
2 vanilla beans, halved crosswise
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, cardamom, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Split vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out seeds; add seeds and beans to sugar mixture with 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring until sugar is dissolved (if it begins to boil, reduce heat -- boiling will make the syrup cloudy). Remove from heat; add cayenne. Let steep 1 hour.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large liquid-measuring cup; discard cardamom pods but reserve cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans. Refrigerate until completely cool, 1 hour. Pour into gift bottles; divide reserved vanilla beans and cinnamon sticks among bottles. Syrup can be stored in bottles, refrigerated, up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the spices. Fresh, flavorful spices will make a big difference in the taste of your syrup.
  • Be precise with your measurements. The right proportions of ingredients are essential for a balanced flavor.
  • Don't overcook the syrup. Overcooked syrup will be thick and gloppy, and it will lose its delicate flavor.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Store the syrup in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Spicy simple syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of cocktails, mocktails, and other beverages. It's also a great way to add a touch of sweetness and spice to desserts, marinades, and glazes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious spicy simple syrup at home.
