Cranberry simple syrup is an easy way to add holiday flavor to everything from cocktails to sparkling water. Warm spices and tart cranberries come together in minutes to form a twist on a classic.
Pour the cranberry juice into a small saucepan. Add in the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, 5-7 minutes,then remove from the heat.
1 cup unsweetened cranberry juice (no sugar added), ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 5 whole cloves
Allow to cool completely, then remove the cinnamon stick and cloves. This is the perfect syrup to use in my cranberry margarita recipe!
