I never liked Coke growing up. Nowadays I like a sip or two of someone else's coke, especially in a frosty glass with clinky ice cubes, not crushed! But it is really too sweet for my taste; I thought I'd try to come up with a cola syrup that had more bite and less . . . cloy? I would love to use this in a soda via fermentation but for now this is a syrup for club soda. WARNING: if you try making this take care when caramelizing the sugar and adding the spiced liquid.
