Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
Gingerbread simple sirup<\/div>\n
\n
\n

In a wide sauce pan (medium size), bring to a boil sugar and water. Stir occasionally to help the sugar melt. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the spices (cinnamon, allspice and cloves go in whole) and ginger that has been peeled and sliced thinly <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

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).
\nTo check if your gingerbread syrup is ready, simply taste it.
\nIf you are happy with its flavour, then you are done.
\nBy the way, its consistency and colour will be similar to maple syrup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Store in a clean jar\/bottle sealed with a lid in the fridge. If stored properly, it can last up to 2 weeks.
\nSterilize jars\/bottles if you want to give this as a gift.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
