Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
- 1/2 Cup Hot water (I like to bring it to a boil)
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar (you could use brown sugar too which is what I used!)
- Cinnamon Sticks (about 8)
Method: In a bowl, stir together the hot water and sugar. Stir together until the sugar has fully dissolved. Add in your cinnamon sticks. Give it a good couple stirs and then let it sit for either 30 mins or overnight in the fridge covered. After it has sat, strain it into a mason jar and be sure to label! Flavor simple syrup usually lasts in the fridge sealed well for about 1-2 weeks.
