Instructions
Gingerbread Syrup
- In a medium size saucepan, combine the ingredients. Heat over medium heat, stirring until combined.
- Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugar melts and does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the liquid reaches a slow boil and the sugar is completely melted, turn off the heat and let cool in the pan.
- Transfer to a heat proof storage container. Shake well before each use to redistribute the spices.
Notes
- The gingerbread syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the ground ginger to 1½ teaspoons.
