Nutmeg Syrup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup dark brown sugar or 1 cup light brown sugar
3 nutmeg, cut in half

Preparation

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