Vanilla Cinnamon Syrup
This is a quick and easy vanilla cinnamon syrup! Enjoy in coffee, cocktails, baked goods, or anything else!
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Whisk or spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup Maple syrup
- 1 cup Water
- 1.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add maple syrup and water to a saucepan and mix together
- Turn the stove on to medium/high heat until the mixture begins to simmer (but not boil). Stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning. Continue to stir intermittently until the mixture is fully combined
- Once the syrup is bubbling, lower the heat to keep the mixture at a low simmer. Continue to stir intermittently until the mixture is fully combined.
- Remove the syrup from heat once the mixture is fully combined. You’ll know it’s done when there are no sugar granules and the mixture is clear (not cloudy).
- Stir in the cinnamon immediately after removing the syrup from the stove. Don’t touch the syrup again until it has cooled.
- Once the syrup is cool, mix in your vanilla extract. Feel free to taste-test it and add more vanilla or cinnamon if desired.
- Pour the mixture into an airtight container and store it for up to a month. I recommend refrigeration to preserve shelf life and flavor.
