Directions

Gingerbread Syrup:

1. In a medium saucepan combine water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla. Choose a pot that holds twice the volume of the syrup mixture (at least 4 cups). If the pot is too small the mixture could easily bubble over.
2. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer syrup, uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat and let cool.  Store syrup in a resalable container in the fridge (water bottles work well!).  Shake well before use.

Makes ~3.5 cups syrup
