How to Make Baklava Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 2 whole cloves, and 1 cinnamon stick.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Add 1/2 cup honey, the zest of 1 lemon, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange zest using a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve.
- Pour the warm syrup generously over your freshly baked baklava.
- Let the baklava cool completely with the syrup for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Cover and store any leftover baklava in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
