Happy Syrup Sunday, Reader!

Maple syrup is one of those ingredients most of us already have in the fridge. It's a lazy (in a good way) swap for simple syrup in cocktails and coffee. But this week we're taking it one step further.

Spiced maple syrup is just maple syrup warmed low and slow with whole spices until everything blooms together. No boiling, no fuss. It's the kind of upgrade that makes you feel like you really have your life together β€” especially when you're spooning the leftovers over Saturday morning pancakes.

Warm maple syrup low and slow with whole spices β€” cinnamon, cloves, star anise β€” until fragrant. No boiling.

what to make with it

  1. Swapping simple syrup for spiced maple turns the Manhattan, an already-elegant cocktail, into something that tastes unmistakably like fall.
    ​
  2. This spiced latte is an upgrade to your Saturday morning. Spiced maple syrup adds a warmth that plays perfectly with espresso and steamed milk.
    ​
  3. Creamy, spiced and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat, make this maple milkshake boozy with a splash of bourbon or keep it as-is. Either way, it disappears fast.

One thing worth saying: Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup. The real thing has an earthy depth of flavor that makes all the difference β€” and it's worth the splurge.


something savory to go with it

​Candied nuts make a big batch β€” perfect for snacking all week, gifting or setting out at a party. A drizzle of spiced maple syrup takes them right over the top.
