Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and orange zest to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Let the syrup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse and the mixture to reduce slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Once the syrup has thickened slightly and has a rich color, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, heatproof jar or container. Press down on the spices and zest to extract all the flavorful syrup.
-
Store the Christmas syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve by adding a spoonful or two to your favorite cup of coffee, hot or cold, for a festive and aromatic kick of flavor.
-
Enjoy the warm, cozy vibes and the delicious taste of the holiday season with every sip!
