Chai Spice Infused Simple

Heather Wibbels
Take your simple syrup into the East with this chai spice-infused simple syrup made from a ginger beer reduction. Just let the mixture reduce on the stove at a low boil until reduced by half and add some sugar to create this complex, flavorful simple syrup.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans of ginger beer - 8 oz each
  • 4 cinnamon sticks cracked
  • 1 nutmeg crushed/cut into 3 or 4 pieces
  • 3 cloves
  • 4 peppercorns
  • 6 whole cardamom pods lightly bruised
  • 4 allspice
  • 2 star anise
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add the ginger beer and spices to a small sauce pan and set to a low boil (watch to make sure it doesn’t boil over due to the carbonation in the soda). Let reduce to ½ - about 45 mins, stirring occasionally. Add ½ cup of sugar, mix and let cook completely. Strain and pour into a clean jar. Store in the fridge.
