Ingredients

  • Golden Caster Sugar: 300g golden caster sugar
  • Ground Ginger: 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • Cinnamon Stick: 1 cinnamon stick
  • Ribbon: ribbon
  • Edible Gold Glitter: edible gold glitter (optional)

Directions

  1. Put the golden caster sugar, 200ml water and ground ginger into a saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 5 mins until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in a little edible gold glitter, if you like. Pour into a 500ml sterilised bottle (see tip below).
  2. To decorate, tie a cinnamon stick around the neck with a pretty ribbon, if you like. Will keep for up to 1 year.
