Gingerbread Syrup
To a large pot, add:
1.5 quarts water
2 vanilla beans, split
1 cinnamon stick
15 cloves
1 tablespoon molasses
10x ¼-inch thick medallions of fresh ginger root
Cook on induction burner at 270 F until mixture boils, lower temp to 160 F. Cook until it is aromatic and smells like gingerbread, about 8-10 minutes. Strain out solids and weigh the remaining liquid. Add an equal measurement by weight of demerara sugar. Mix until sugar is dissolved.
