Instructions
Step 1
Start by *peeling* and *slicing* the carrot into thin half-rounds. For the nuts, take a handful of either pecans or walnuts and gently *chop* them into smaller pieces. This will allow their flavors to blend well with the syrup.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the sliced carrots and chopped nuts. Then, pour in the water, add the brown sugar, and place the cinnamon stick in the mix. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it *simmer* for about 15 minutes. This will help the flavors to develop and merge beautifully.
Step 3
After simmering, pour in the vanilla extract and give the mixture a good *stir*. Allow it to rest for another 20 minutes, letting the syrup thicken slightly.
Finally, strain the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the solids. The result should be a *slightly viscous syrup*—not too thick, but thicker than water.
Step 4
Store the syrup in the refrigerator where it will keep for about 6-7 days. If you'd like to keep it longer, consider *freezing* it in portion-sized cubes using a silicone mold.
Step 5
This delightful syrup is perfect for *drizzling* over coffee, pastries, pancakes, or any other dessert of your choice. Enjoy the enhanced flavors it brings to your dishes!
