Julia, I know this post is from AGES ago, but I just wanted to thank you for it. My partner and I took turn making breakfasts for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I’m a french toast lover, and wanted something festive. I made this to go over an orange & spice infused French toast and couldn’t be happier with the result. I was absolutely thrilled when I got my syrup to reduce down to the exact thickness I prefer, and it tastes like it has actual molasses in it, as the flavors are that close to actual gingerbread. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe I’ll be using for years to come – you helped me make a special Christmas breakfast! Cheers!

In reply to Lynnjoh. Hi Lynnjoh, I am afraid the only way to thicken is is cooking it longer on a stove. Or, if you let's say want to use some for pancakes - perhaps just heat it up on a stove, add cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened. Hope this helps a bit.

I followed the recipe to a T and it is really runny. Is there a way to thicken it without altering the yummy flavor?

Can I replace coconut sugar for the brown sugar in this recipe?

In reply to Kori L Johnson. Hi Kori. I am not sure but I would say the temperature might have been too high or you might have cooked it too long.

Do you strain the ginger and spices out after simmering?

My batch turned into a solid sugar? What did I do wrong?

I fell in love with gingerbread lattes at Starbucks and this is the perfect solution for my bank account! So good and so many uses! I’m considering adding this to butter and popcorn kernels and then microwaving it to make gingerbread popcorn… I’m dropping at the thought.
Thanks so much for this recipe, it smells so good and I’m sure it takes just as good :)

Thank you so much for publishing this recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out great. I wanted a deeper and richer flavor to make for Christmas gifts, so on my second batch I added dashes of sea salt and ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon molasses. The result was more complex and rounded. I also discovered that if you grate your ginger the syrup gets a little warmer and spicier (which I prefer.) I’m excited to give these away as presents! Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s a keeper!

This is such an innovation. I’ve always been a purist — maple syrup – period, but this would be great during the holidays!
