A delightful syrup infused with warm spices and a hint of rum, perfect for enhancing your favorite beverages or desserts.
Combine the sugar, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan.
Stir continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from boiling over.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum and lemon juice.
Adding the rum off the heat preserves its flavor.
Pour the syrup into a clean, airtight jar and let it cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
Use a funnel to make transferring the syrup easier.
