In a coffee filter, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg and clove; tie with butcher twine to make a “tea bag”. Combine 1 1/3 cups water with the tea bag of spices and the sugar in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and add the ginger. Stir and let steep for at least 30 minutes.
