Carrot Cake Syrup (and Latte)

Carrot cake is the best cake ever invented—no debate. But since I wasn’t about to bake one, I turned it into a syrup that’s perfect for coffee.

Carrot Cake Syrup

Ingredients:

For the syrup:

- 2 medium carrots, chopped (It's about 1 cup of carrots)

- 1 cup water

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1 tsp grated ginger

- 1 tbsp vanilla extract

- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

1. Chop 2 carrots into small pieces. Add them to a saucepan with 1 cup of water, 1 cup of brown sugar, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spices. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2. Simmer for about 20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen smells like fresh-baked carrot cake. And when the carrots are soft but not mushy.

3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the carrot pieces and spices. You’re left with a thick, spiced syrup that’s ready to go.

4. Let the syrup cool completely before transferring to a clean bottle or jar. It’ll keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks—if it lasts that long.
