- 1/2 cup molasses (4 fl oz)
- 1/2 cup water (4 fl oz)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 4 cinnamon sticks (or 1/2 tsp ground)
- 4 whole cloves (or 1/4 tsp ground)
- 2 whole nutmeg pods, cracked in half (or 1/4 tsp ground)
- 2" knuckle fresh ginger, peeled and roughly sliced (or 1 tsp ground)
Add all ingredients to a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and rest for another 10 minutes.
Strain out spices if using whole spices instead of ground and allow to cool. Store leftovers in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator.
- This recipe yields a total of about 1 1/4 cups.
- Molasses: Be sure to use regular molasses instead of blackstrap, which is too bitter for this recipe.
- Storage: Store in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The syrup will thicken further as it cools and can be reheated for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to help loosen it up.
