How to Make Ginger Spice Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger, 1/4 cup thinly sliced orange peel, 2 whole cloves, and 2 star anise in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover. Let the syrup steep for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a more intense ginger flavor.
  5. Carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a clean pitcher or jar, pressing on the solids to extract as much syrup as possible.
  6. Discard the solids.
  7. Cover the pitcher or jar and refrigerate the syrup for at least 3 hours, or until completely chilled. The flavor will deepen as it cools.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  9. Enjoy! Use your Ginger Spice Syrup to create delicious cocktails, mocktails, or even drizzle it over pancakes or yogurt.
