Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the brown sugar, water, molasses, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Add half-and-half (or milk of your choice) to a ratio of your liking. I prefer ¾ of a cup to the ½ cup of syrup. You may also leave the syrup as a standalone flavoring. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.
