Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) filtered/purified or distilled water
• 1 cup (240 ml) pure organic honey
• 1 cup (200 grams) organic granulated pure cane sugar, such as 365 Everyday Value® by Whole Foods Market®
• 6 whole cloves
• 6 star anise pods
• 6 whole allspice berries
• 3 whole black peppercorns
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• Special Equipment & Supplies:
• Fine-mesh sieve
• Small square of cheesecloth
• Small piece of wax paper

Directions

• In a small saucepan, combine water, honey and sugar. Over medium heat, cook stirring frequently until sugar is completely dissolved. This process should take about 8 minutes. Add whole spices and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to between low to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve lined with a small square of cheesecloth, carefully strain syrup into a large heatproof glass liquid measuring cup. (I like to use my Pyrex® 4-cup glass liquid measure.) Set syrup aside to cool completely, covered with a small square of wax paper, before using in recipes. Keep leftover syrup stored in refrigerator tightly sealed.
