Ingredients for Cinnamon Simple Syrup
- 1 cinnamon stick (these are a great deal)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
How to Make Cinnamon Simple Syrup
Add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool for 20 minutes. Pour the syrup into a lidded container like a major jar. You can store it with or without the cinnamon stick. Storing it with the cinnamon stick will mean it infuses even more cinnamon flavor as it sits in the refrigerator. Store in the fridge; it should keep for 1-2 weeks.
