Jump to RecipeTo start, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, clove, allspice, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the syrup has thickened slightly.
Next, remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes. If you're adding any of the optional variations, now is the time to mix them in. Simply add your desired ingredients to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
