Now, for the ambitious among you, a gingerbread syrup recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup spring water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Clover or other mild honey
Sliced gingerroot from a one-inch piece
1 cinnamon stick, broken into large pieces
8 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon whole black or pink peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:
Combine water, sugar and honey in a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger and cinnamon pieces plus the cloves, allspice, peppercorns, and nutmeg.
