Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
  • Pour syrup into a container like a mason jar and store in the fridge. The syrup gets thicker as it cools.
  • Use the syrup in your coffee, tea, cocktails, over ice cream, or warm up and pour it over waffles or pancakes.

Notes

  • If this is left on a higher temperature it will boil over in the pan and make a mess, so keep an eye on it and turn down the heat as needed. 
  • You can adjust the spices to your liking. Start with less and add until it's the taste and level of spiciness you like.
  • This is a delightful addition to homemade chia latte — it adds a little extra spice!
  • To adjust the sweetness, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup.
