2. 2

   Infuse the Flavor

   Add the orange zest, vanilla bean (split open), cloves, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cooled, strain the syrup to remove the solids.
