Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar both light brown sugar, and dark brown sugar work well for this recipe
  • 3 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and ground spices, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the water and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Place your saucepan on the stove and turn your lid up to medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly, and continue to simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. 
  • Once the sugar is dissolved remove your pan from the heat, and allow the syrup to cool briefly. 
  • Pour your gingerbread syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean glass jar(I used two small mason jars for mine.) This helps remove any larger bits of the ground spices, but you can skip this step if you like.
  • Allow your finished syrup to cool uncovered until it reaches room temperature. Once the syrup is cooled cover tightly and place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Use for any of your favorite gingerbread coffee drinks, hot chocolates, and cocktails.
  • Enjoy!
