Instructions

Notes
- This recipe makes about 1 cup of cinnamon simple syrup with a serving size being 1 tablespoon.
- Once the syrup has simmered, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to filter out most of the ground cinnamon particles. For a smoother texture, opt for 3-4 cinnamon sticks instead of ground cinnamon. Allow the sticks to steep in the liquid overnight for optimal flavor extraction.
- Storage: Homemade cinnamon simple syrup should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month. Label the container with the date or make a note of its shelf life.
