For a richer flavor, consider using a vanilla bean in addition to the other spices. Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste after the infusion period. If you don't have simple syrup on hand, you can make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely before using. Ensure all your equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to avoid any unwanted flavors or bacteria.
