I always have a stash of this in the fridge. During the holidays I first simmer the water with ample mulling spices till I have a fairly strong concentrate, THEN add the sugar and proceed with the recipe. Then, you can heat up apple juice, rum, wine, or whatever, and add the spiced simple syrup to make a wonderful holiday beverage whenever you want! I love to make hot buttered rum using this!!

A great syrup to use in all your cocktail recipes. This is great because it doesn't make alot of syrup.

I used this recipe to make some caramel popcorn when I did not have the corn syrup I needed. It turned out great and I don't think I need to buy corn syrup anymore.
