For the Salted Cardamom Syrup:

3. Cool and transfer to a clean jar or squeeze bottle. Store leftovers in the fridge.

For the Banana Bread Syrup:

1. To a small saucepan, add the brown sugar, water, banana, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and salt. Gently simmer for 8-10 minutes, gently pressing the banana to release its flavour without mashing it. Remove from the heat and steep for 10 minutes.
2. Strain through a sieve, and stir in the vanilla.
3. Cool and transfer to a clean jar or squeeze bottle. Store leftovers in the fridge.

For the Cookie Butter Syrup:

1. To a small saucepan, add the brown sugar and water. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.
2. Reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the cookie butter, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
3. Cool and transfer to a clean jar or squeeze bottle. Store leftovers in the fridge.
