Nutmeg Syrup

Directions

1. 1
   In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients.
2. 2
   Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce the heat just enough to keep it at full simmer.
3. 3
   Keep small, gentle bubbles breaking the surface, not a rolling boil.
4. 4
   Simmer for 30 minutes, until the syrup is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. 5
   Remove from the heat; the syrup thickens as it cools.
6. 6
   When cool, store in the refrigerator in a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid, or a plastic squirt bottle.
7. 7
   If you like, you can leave the nutmegs in (they look nice!) and they will add more flavor during storage.
