RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Level: Intermediate

Prep: 4 min
Inactive: 20 min
Cook: 5 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Syrup:

1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves

Espresso:

1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 to 2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur (recommended: Frangelico), optional
1 pint vanilla gelato or ice cream

Directions

For the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Take the pan off the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Remove the ginger, cinnamon, and cloves and discard.

For the espresso: In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the boiling water, espresso powder, and liqueur, if using, until the powder is dissolved.

Scoop the gelato into 4 dessert bowls or glasses. Pour 1/4 cup of the syrup and 2 tablespoons espresso over each. Serve immediately.
