Cinnamon Brown Sugar Syrup: A Delicious Coffee Syrup Recipe

Homemade syrups are very popular these days and for a good reason. They really enhance the flavor of any beverage that they’re added to, and they’re incredibly easy to make.

Coffee and brown sugar are an unbeatable combo. There is no better way to drink your coffee than with delicious coffee syrup.

This cinnamon brown sugar syrup recipe is easy to make and will add a tasty kick to your morning coffee!

What is cinnamon brown sugar syrup?

If you’ve never heard of cinnamon brown sugar syrup, then you might be wondering what it is exactly:

Cinnamon brown sugar syrup is a simple concoction of brown sugar, water, and cinnamon. It’s a sweet and slightly spicy syrup that you can make in just five minutes!

When this mixture reduces, it becomes a deep-brown syrup with a strong cinnamon flavor.

It’s delicious with your morning cup of joe or iced in the summertime to enjoy with your coffee or iced drinks.

Which ingredients are used in this coffee syrup?

This recipe uses just three ingredients, which are as follows:

• Brown sugar
• Cold tap water
• Cinnamon

Brown sugar by itself has a typical taste that some people find too dark and sticky, but when you add cinnamon to the mix, then all of a sudden, that same brown sugar starts tasting noticeably sweeter!

That’s because the warm spiciness from the cinnamon balances out the typical bitterness and astringency from this type of natural cane sugar.

Now let’s talk about the best cinnamon to use for this homemade coffee syrup:

Which cinnamon is best used?

For this recipe, you can use any cinnamon you have at hand. You can use whole cinnamon sticks or use the ground version instead.

The best part about the ground version is that most already have this at home, so you can easily start making this recipe at home without going to the supermarket.

For these kinds of recipes, I like to use whole cinnamon sticks. By letting the cinnamon sticks infuse with the sugar syrup, you’ll be left with a coffee syrup that has a lot more cinnamon flavor.

And the great thing is, you can just add it to the saucepan and let it steep for the same amount of time as the other ingredients.

Whichever you choose, this cinnamon brown sugar syrup will turn out great!
