Steps:
- Pour sugar into a 3-quart saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook while stirring gently until the sugar melts and turns golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Carefully and slowly pour in the water, stirring to dissolve the caramel. Add the ginger, lime, and cinnamon; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the cachaca, and cook until hot, about 5 minutes more. Strain before serving.

[email protected]This Quentao is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I had a few oranges that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this recipe. It turned out great!

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly but my Quentao turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much water. Next time I will be more careful with the measurements.
