**Christmas Syrup For Coffee**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 cinnamon sticks
– 1 teaspoon whole cloves
– 1 teaspoon whole allspice
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Zest of 1 orange
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and orange zest to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3. Let the syrup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse and the mixture to reduce slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Once the syrup has thickened slightly and has a rich color, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, heatproof jar or container. Press down on the spices and zest to extract all the flavorful syrup.
6. Store the Christmas syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve by adding a spoonful or two to your favorite cup of coffee, hot or cold, for a festive and aromatic kick of flavor.
7. Enjoy the warm, cozy vibes and the delicious taste of the holiday season with every sip!
