Home to make this homemade Gingerbread Syrup
First I place almost all the spices (cinnamon sticks, whole gloves, ground allspice, fresh ginger pieces and peppercorns) in a cheesecloth and tie with a string to form a bag. I am not using many ground spices and am using a spice bag because of the ground spices the syrup will get muddy and I wanted to omit that.
I’ve used white granulated sugar, but you can use brown sugar too to get more of a caramel flavor.
In a saucepan, heat sugar, water, honey, ground nutmeg and the spice bag and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium low, to simmer, uncovered until syrup reaches desired consistency for about 1 hour.
Remove from heat. Fill it in bottles with a tight lid. Let the bottles cool and store the syrup in the fridge for up to 30 days.
