Gingerbread Syrup Recipe

Willa Mcdonald

Report

Gingerbread Syrup Recipe made in a snap with a few easily-available ingredients, a festive homemade recipe that can be used in coffee, hot chocolate or christmassy bakes. The syrup is wonderfully spiced and indulgent, and tastes just like a gingerbread cookie. Quick and easy to make, much better than a shop-bought syrup full of nasty ingredients.

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a pan and mix very well.
Set the pan over a medium heat, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat.
If you can, strain the syrup through a very fine strainer or cloth.
Store it into a bottle or jar with a tight lid and leave it to cool down completely.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

If stored correctly, the syrup will last well in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Just give it a very good shake before every use.
Straining the syrup is not compulsory, but it is helpful if you want a clearer liquid, especially if the spices are not ground super finely. Even a cloth won't catch all of them though, and that won't make any difference taste wise.
Depending on how strong you like your hot drinks, I would say use 2-3 tablespoons of syrup, there is no need for added sugar in your drinks, since the syrup is sweet enough.
