Directions
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 to 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.
