Love gingerbread flavor? Then you will fall in love with this homemade gingerbread syrup. It is all you need to flavor your pancakes, coffee, tea or crepes!
In a wide saucepan (medium size), bring to a boil sugar and water. Stir occasionally to help the sugar melt. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the spices and ginger that you have peeled and sliced.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the syrup is infused with spices (taste with a spoon to see if you like it. Leave for longer, if needed).
Strain the spices and ginger and pour into a sterilized bottle.
Notes
Gingerbread syrup should have a similar consistency like maple syrup.
Store in a clean jar/bottle sealed with a lid in the fridge. If stored properly, it can last up to 2 weeks.
Sterilize jars/bottles if you want to give this as a gift.
This recipe should yield about 2 cups of syrup. However, the longer you leave it simmer the more water evaporates so you might get less.
