Fresh Ginger Simple Syrup
You'll love flavoring beverages and cocktails with this lightly spiced ginger simple syrup! The flavor is sweet and complex, with a zing that you just don't find in store bought ginger syrup.
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 (6-inch) piece fresh ginger peeled and finely diced
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Bring the water to a gentle boil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla, and and whisk until all of the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the temperature and simmer for 30 minutes to reduce, stirring occasionally.
- Allow the solution to cool completely at room temperature. Once it's cooled, you can transfer the ginger syrup into a clean container for storage.
- Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. If you notice any crystallization forming, you can heat the syrup back up over low heat, whisking occasionally, to reincorporate the sugar crystals.
