Notes

Tips and Variations

If the syrup is too thin for you, thicken it up with a tiny bit of cornstarch mixed with cold water. You can also let it simmer longer (but watch it carefully!).
Stir the syrup often after it starts to thicken to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Swap granulated sugar for stevia or monk fruit sweetener to make a sugar-free version. If you prefer more natural flavors, use maple syrup, coconut sugar, or honey.
To bring a little extra warmth, add a pinch of black pepper or cardamom. .
To make it extra festive, add some orange zest or maple extract.
If you're not using it right away, transfer it to an airtight container after cooling down completely and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
