Calories 52kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar see note
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 whole cinnamon sticks broken
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Do not let boil.
- Remove from heat and add the cinnamon sticks. Let rest for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Leave in longer for a stronger flavor.
- Store in a mason jar for up to one month. Leave the cinnamon sticks in the jar for a stronger flavor, or discard them.
Notes
Sugar swap: I use half brown sugar and half granulated sugar, but you can all of either type if you prefer.
Ground cinnamon variation: Feel free to make this syrup with ground cinnamon. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Stir well. Let it infuse just the way the recipe calls for. Then strain through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter. (If you skip straining, it may be gritty and grainy, but it will still taste great!)
