Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh ginger
- 240 milliliters water
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 piece whole cinnamon stick
- 6 pieces whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin rounds.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, water, granulated sugar, cinnamon stick, and whole cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
After 10 minutes, add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes to enhance the infusion of flavors.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass jar or bottle, discarding the solids.
Allow the syrup to come to room temperature before sealing the container tightly.
Store the Ginger Spice Syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use.
