Vanilla-Ginger Simple Syrup

From Covey Run, for About.com

This is a great flavor-infused simple syrup that is featured in Endless Possibilities. This modifier can also be added to other cocktails that call for simple syrup like the Nutty Martini where the vanilla and ginger can enhance yet not ruin the base flavors of the drink. This will store for up to a week when refrigerated.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces sugar
  • 8 ounces water
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
  • 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped

Preparation:

  1. Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to a boil for one minute.
  2. Remove from the heat and let steep for 20 minutes.
  3. Strain out vanilla bean pods and ginger and cool syrups.
