Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir the mixture gently to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed in the water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar completely.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. Add the ground cinnamon and stir well to incorporate it into the syrup.
- Continue to simmer the syrup on low heat for about 10 minutes. This will help the flavors meld and create a thicker consistency.
- After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes before adding the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly, ensuring it is evenly mixed throughout the syrup.
- Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.
- Store the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup in the refrigerator. It can be used for up to 2 weeks.
- To use the syrup, simply drizzle it over your favorite beverages, desserts, or breakfast items for a delicious cinnamon flavor.
