  • ½ oz apple cinnamon syrup (recipe below)

Notes

Apple Cinnamon Syrup

Ingredients:
  • 1 green apple
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
This apple syrup is easy to whip up, and it’s also easy to make in both small and large batches. For a small batch, add a half cup of water and a half cup of sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir frequently until all of the sugar has dissolved, then add one chopped green apple and a cinnamon stick broken into a few pieces. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about ten minutes, or until the fruit just begins to break down.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool fully before straining. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
