Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup 1-inch chunked fresh ginger peeled
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground star anise
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients and simmer gently on medium heat.
  • Simmer for approximate 15-20 minutes until thickened. I didn't want my syrup too thick. I would compare its cooled consistency to heated maple syrup.
  • Remove from the heat and strain out the chunks of ginger.
  • Let cool on the counter.
  • Store in a air-tight jar in the fridge and use within 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Fresh ginger gives this a strong gingerbread flavor, and I highly recommend cooking the chunked ginger with the syrup. 
  • You can use light brown sugar, coconut sugar, or raw sugar instead of dark brown sugar. 
  • Add in some white pepper or peppercorns to the syrup mixture to add a little more heat.
