Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon whole clove
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice
- ¾ teaspoon white pepper
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 whole nutmeg
- One 2-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced
- 2½ cups vodka
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a small skillet, toast the clove, allspice, white pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a sealable quart jar with the ginger and pour in the vodka. Seal and steep for 2 days, shaking the jar every 12 hours.
2. After 2 days, strain out the solids and transfer them to a small saucepan with the sugar and water. Bring to simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves, 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. Strain the syrup into the jar with the infused vodka and shake to combine. Serve on the rocks, in a cup of coffee or stirred into your favorite cocktails.
Makes 4 cups.
