Cooking Notes
SPICED SIMPLE SYRUP 4 cups water 15 sticks of cinnamon bark, broken up 10 star anise pods 1/4 ounces whole corns of allspice (a large handful) 1/8 ounces whole cloves 1 vanilla pod, sliced down the center & opened out 2 pounds sugar (for this, I prefer a neutral sugar, like the evaporated organic cane from Trader Joe’s) 1 large ginger root, 4-6 ounces, grated.
Place all ingredients except sugar and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for two hours. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then stir in the ginger. Cover and set aside overnight, or for at least 12 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a sealable jar and refrigerate. Makes roughly 4 cups.
