  • 1 c Water

Note: Piloncillo is an unrefined sugar that comes in a firm cone shape
(it's named after the pilon, a conical weight used on scales). Piloncillo
is available at Hispanic supermarkets.

Place water, sugar and spices in heavy one-quart nonreactive saucepan and
let sit for 1 hour or longer, until sugar is fully dissolved. Slowly bring
to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4-5 minutes. Allow to cool, then
discard spices and pour remaining mixture into a glass bottle. Keeps
indefinitely in the refrigerator. This dark syrup dissolves easily in hot
coffee drinks.
