Description
This Homemade Winter Spice Syrup is the perfect way to make spiced lattes at home! This healthier homemade coffee syrup is refined sugar-free, sweetened with maple syrup, and flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and orange.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup maple syrup (you can also use a granulated sweetener like brown sugar, coconut sugar, etc. If so, increase water to 1 cup)
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
-
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves (you can also infuse with whole cloves)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- One orange, zested and juiced
Instructions
-
Combine the water, maple syrup, spices, orange juice & zest in a saucepan. Stir to mix in the spices and bring to a simmer.
-
Let cook at a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until very slightly thickened. It will thicken up a little bit more as it cools.
-
Remove from the heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool for a few minutes.
-
Use a strainer to remove any bits of spice & zest (I like to use a funnel with a strainer to do this all in one step), and pour it into a jar for storage.
-
Use a tablespoon or two in all of your favorite lattes, add it to tea, or steam it with warm milk for a cozy drink!
-
Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
