Ingredients
- 1 medium Extra ripe banana, mashed The more ripe, the better.

- 2 whole Cinnamon sticks or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg Can reduce or omit if you don't like nutmeg
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small pot over medium-low heat.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, then stir only occasionally while heating.
- Right before the syrup starts to boil (about 5-7 minutes) remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof jar. Use a rubber spatula to push all the liquid out of the strainer so you can get all your syrup! It will look pretty thin when you strain it, but don't worry, it will thicken up once it's cool.
