How to Make Root Beer Carrots

In a large skillet, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup root beer, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced (about 1 inch thick).
Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Uncover and continue to simmer until carrots are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. The liquid should reduce slightly, creating a syrupy glaze.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and spicy flavor explosion!
