Ginnie's Take

I look forward to drinking an iced coffee every morning, whether it's hot or cold out. Usually, I make mine with milk and a little sugar, but every once in a while I like to add flavored coffee syrup. While shopping recently, I spotted a bottle of Torani syrup made with brown sugar and cinnamon. It sounded so delicious that I recreated it as soon as I got home, and it turned out so well. This is my version of that scrumptious Cinnamon Brown Sugar Syrup, and I can't wait for you to try this amazing recipe!

• Versatile - Use it to make hot or iced coffee drinks, tea, and so much more.

Ingredients

This recipe is a simple twist on my homemade simple syrup recipe, and it uses simple ingredients you can find at any store! Here's what you'll need:

• Sugar - Brown sugar gives this recipe a rich, caramel-like flavor you'll love. Feel free to use light or brown sugar, although dark will give the syrup a richer taste.
• Cinnamon - Ground cinnamon is the star ingredient! It adds so much flavor and a warm fragrance to the simple syrup. Cinnamon sticks will also work.
• Water - The only other ingredient you'll need is water. So simple, right?

This homemade simple syrup is naturally vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, and gluten free ... which means that ALL of your family and friends can enjoy it!

How to Make Cinnamon Brown Sugar Coffee Syrup

This flavored simple syrup is so easy to make! You'll find a detailed recipe card below, but here's an overview of the steps:

1. Whisk ingredients together. Start by whisking together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon (or cinnamon sticks), and water over medium heat.
2. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Continue stirring the mixture until it's hot and the sugar is completely dissolved. There's no need to boil the syrup.

And that's all there is to it! Your Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup is ready to enjoy! You are going to love the amazing taste, and the fact that you know exactly what's in it (no additives).

How to Use

This homemade Cinnamon Dolce Syrup is perfect for flavoring to all your coffee and tea drinks! I'm sharing two easy recipes below (a latte and iced coffee), but here are some other easy ideas:

• Mix into hot coffee before serving.
• Use it to make this delicious Shaken Espresso!
• Stir the syrup into Homemade Iced Coffee or this quick Instant Iced Coffee
• Swirl the sweetener into this delicious Irish Iced Coffee!
• Mix it into hot tea, then add frothed milk to make a tea latte.

How to Make a Latte with the Syrup

1. Start by making a cup of strong coffee (or use espresso). I used my Ninja Coffee Maker on the Specialty Brew Setting.
2. Stir a tablespoon or two of the flavored syrup into the coffee.
3. Microwave ½ cups milk until hot, about 1 minute, then use a milk frother to froth it. Tip: If you don't have frother, heat the milk in a jar with a lid (like a mason jar). Once it's heated, secure the lid and shake until foamy.
4. Pour the frothed milk into the coffee and sprinkle with cinnamon.

How to Make an Iced Coffee with the Syrup

1. Brew about 1 ½ cups of coffee, then chill.
2. Once chilled, transfer the coffee to a tall glass, then add milk and a tablespoon or two of coffee syrup to taste.
3. Mix well, then fill glass with ice. Enjoy!

Transfer the coffee syrup to a bottle. I used an empty vinegar bottle, but if you don't have a spare bottle, these glass bottles from Amazon would work perfectly. Print out the label on card stock. Cut out the label and punch a hole in the top using a hole punch. Attach it to the bottle with bakers twine.

You can make this recipe with a cinnamon stick instead of ground cinnamon, if you prefer. Just add the stick to the other ingredients while heating, then remove it after the syrup has cooled.

Stored in the refrigerator, simple syrup will keep for about one month. If you don't think you'll use it up in one month, feel free to cut the recipe in half.
