Simple Syrup

Or, for an alternative, try:
Spiced Simple Syrup
Steep one cup of dried orange peel, a few cloves, and one cinnamon stick in two quarts of water overnight. In a sauce pan, add 1 cup of sugar to the water that has been steeping with peels and spices, and bring to a boil. Remove immediately from heat, strain and cool before bottling. |
