Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugars are fully dissolved.
Add the grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
Let the syrup simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger solids and spices.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean, airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before use, as some settling may occur.
