Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the ground nutmeg and the cinnamon stick to the mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly, then remove the cinnamon stick.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture (this step is optional).
Pour the nutmeg syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle, and let it cool completely before sealing tightly.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using.
