Add 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar. Simmer on low to blend flavors, then remove from heat and let cool at room temperature before using or storing in the refrigerator.
** To make Ginger Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar in 1 cup of water. Add 1 cup of sliced ginger to the mixture, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, steep for an hour, and then strain out ginger. Use or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin, and shake over ice until very cold. Remove ice by straining, and then shake again (called a "dry shake") until the little flecks of ice are no longer audible. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with freshly ground nutmeg.
