What is cinnamon syrup?

Cinnamon syrup is a simple syrup infused with the flavor of cinnamon.

It's made by combining sugar and water in a saucepan, adding cinnamon, heating the mixture to just under boiling (you don't want it to boil), and stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Once cooled, you can store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks (more storage tips at the end of the article).

Cinnamon syrup is quite versatile; it adds flavor and depth of taste when used as an ingredient or topping for a wide range of food items.

Which ingredients are needed for this recipe?

The best part about making cinnamon syrup at home is that you only need three ingredients:

• White granulated sugar
• Cold tap water
• Cinnamon sticks

Tip: You can also make this recipe with brown sugar if you prefer. You can check out the recipe for it here.

Remember that brown sugar syrup has a more intense flavor due to the type of sugar used.

This cinnamon syrup recipe is a milder version that will add a touch of cinnamon sweetness to your coffee.

Which cinnamon is best used?

I prefer using cinnamon sticks when making homemade coffee syrup.

By letting the cinnamon sticks infuse with the syrup, you'll be left with a more intense cinnamon flavor than you'd have with ground cinnamon.

It's also a lot easier, as you can remove the cinnamon sticks at once, so there's no need to make a big mess.

You can still make this recipe if you only have ground cinnamon at home.

There's no need to sieve the cinnamon from the syrup afterward, making it an easy way to prepare this syrup.

Whether you add cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon to this syrup, you'll surely create a delicious addition to your homemade coffee!

How to use cinnamon syrup in coffee

Cinnamon syrup is a great way to add a bit of sweetness and spice to your coffee.

The most common way to use cinnamon syrup with coffee is to add it directly to the mixture when stirring.

You can also top off your finished cup of coffee with a drizzle of syrup for added flavor.

When using cinnamon syrup in coffee, be mindful not to overwhelm the drink with too much sweetness or spiciness.

Depending on your preference, you may want to experiment and adjust the amount of syrup used until you find a flavor profile that suits you best.

I prefer adding just one or two tablespoons of syrup to an 8-ounce cup of coffee.

Because this is a syrup, it'll dissolve quickly into your coffee. You can also try it with the following recipes:

• Lattes
• Cappuccinos
• Cold brew coffee
• Iced coffee
• Iced lattes

These are some of my favorite drinks to add some syrup to. You can try endless combinations, so feel free to experiment with your favorite coffee!

How to store cinnamon syrup

It must be stored correctly to ensure your cinnamon syrup stays fresh and flavorful for as long as possible.

Here are some tips on how to do just that:

• Store in an airtight container. Use a glass or hard plastic container with a well-sealed lid. A mason jar works perfectly for this purpose; it's the ideal size for most kitchen uses and comes with a lid! I prefer using resealable glass bottles as an alternative.
• Refrigerate after making. Cinnamon syrup can spoil if left at room temperature, so it's best to keep it refrigerated whenever possible.
• Use within two weeks of opening. The flavor will be less intense after two weeks, so I like to make a new batch after these two weeks.

Finally, always remember to properly label and date any containers of cinnamon syrup you have stored so you know when they were made and how long they should last for consumption.

Tip: You can also use this mason jar to brew cold brew! Check out this recipe here.

This ensures absolute freshness every time you pour yourself some delicious, homemade cinnamon syrup.
