Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup white sugar
3 cups water
¾ cup cubed fresh ginger root
2 limes, sliced
4 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1 (750 milliliter) bottle cachaca

  • Carefully and slowly pour in the water, stirring to dissolve the caramel. Add the ginger, lime, and cinnamon; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the cachaca, and cook until hot, about 5 minutes more. Strain before serving.

I'm not sure if I like the idea of using cachaça in this recipe. I think I'll try it with a different type of alcohol.
