Can I Buy Gingerbread Syrup Instead of Making It?
Gingerbread syrup is available in stores for only a short time while you can find it online most of the year. If you would prefer to buy the gingerbread syrup instead of making it from scratch you can. Another option is to use gingerbread creamer instead of making the syrup and using heavy cream. The creamer will give you the same gingerbread flavor while adding the creaminess that the heavy cream adds.
How to Store the Gingerbread Syrup
When you make this syrup you want to store it in an airtight container. Use a mason jar or another type of container that has a lid and you can pour from. For best results, store the gingerbread syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
