Cook’s Notes

I love this syrup not only because it’s super easy to make anytime, but because it uses whole spices and real, fresh ginger. Canadians can pick up these spices in small amounts at Bulk Barn or I’m sure there are similar bulk spice options available to most people.

The spices and fresh ginger slices are simmered with a water and sugar and a bit of honey for about 30 minutes, they the spices and ginger are strained out, leaving a pretty syrup, flecked with nutmeg.
