Cinnamon Simple Syrup
This quick and easy simple syrup adds the sweet, warming spice of cinnamon to drinks like cocktails, mocktails, coffee and tea.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2-3 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Break the cinnamon sticks up into smaller pieces and add then to the pan.
- Stir frequently to help the sugar dissolve, then bring the liquid to a boil.
- Once bubbling, reduce the heat and simmer for five to ten minutes, or until the liquid is a pale yellow and flavorful.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool fully before removing the cinnamon sticks. If any small particles remain, you can strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer.
- Store your cinnamon simple syrup in a glass bottle or jar in the refrigerator for at least two weeks.
