Spicy Simple Syrup image

This recipe is a loose template; use any spice that seems festive and appealing to you, but bear in mind you are adding a relatively small amount of syrup per drink, so it pays to make it forceful. This blend includes cinnamon, allspice, star anise, cloves, vanilla and ginger root.

Yield Makes roughly 4 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups sugar (evaporated organic cane sugar from Trader Joe's works well)
4 cups water
12-15 cinnamon sticks, broken up
10 star anise pods
1/4 ounce whole allspice (a large handful)
1/8 ounce whole cloves
1 vanilla pod, sliced down the center and opened out
1 large ginger root, 4 to 6 ounces, grated.

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except sugar and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer, covered, for two hours. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then grate the ginger and stir in. Cover and set aside for at least 12 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a sealable jar and refrigerate.
