Equipment
- Small Saucepan
- Spatula
- Small Strainer
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened apple cider
- 150 grams light brown sugar approx. ¾ cup packed
- 1 cinnamon stick roughly chopped
- 5-6 whole cloves
- 5-6 allspice berries
Instructions
- Bring all ingredients to a light simmer in a small pot for about 15-20 minutes.
- Strain into a glass jar and allow it to cool before use.
Notes
- Use Medium Heat: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer to avoid scorching the sugar.
- Make a Big Batch: If you have a full gallon of fresh apple cider on hand, this recipe scales up easily so you can make enough to last the season.
- Rich Syrup Option: Double the sugar for a thicker, more concentrated syrup with a longer shelf life.
- Break Up the Cinnamon Stick: This allows for more of the flavors to infuse into the syrup as it simmers.
- Refrigerator: Once cooled, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-4 weeks.
- Freezer: Simple syrup freezes well (especially with a higher concentration), making it easy to batch-make a big fall supply. Whisk over low heat once thawed to bring it back to its original consistency.
- Reheating: If the syrup is too thick, warm it gently on the stovetop or in short bursts in the microwave to thin it back out.
- Serving: 1 tablespoon
