How to make cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup

1. Add ingredients to pot

add water and brown sugar to a small sauce pan

2. Simmer

stir and bring heat up to a simmer over medium heat. make sure that you stir enough that the sugar dissolves into the water.

add cinnamon stick and allow to simmer for 5 minutes stirring frequently. This is just the best smell to have in your home. If you are going to use a vanilla bean make sure you split it right down the middle then add it at this point with the cinnamon stick.

4. Cool

remove the pot from heat and stir until the simmering stops, the mixture will have reduced in volume slightly and become a bit stickier.

add vanilla and stir. If you add the vanilla while the mixture is too hot you might burn it right off so be sure the syrup has cooled down quite a bit.

5. Store

add syrup to the container you will be storing it in. If you do not have a jar like the one I have pictured, you can use a small mason jar.

allow to cool completely before storing in the fridge, can be stored for 1-2 weeks if refrigerated.
