combine water and sugar in a pan over medium heat, when sugar dissolves and right as syrup starts to boil, add the spices, stir thoroughly, cover and let steep until cool. At the same time roast a sweet potato in the oven or cook in the microwave until soft and tender. Peel the potato, and add in chunks to a blender, add the water and vermouth and puree until smooth. Strain the spices from the syrup, add the pureed sweet potato and whisk until thoroughly blended. Put in a jar or bottle and keep refrigerated.
