Ingredients in Cinnamon Simple Syrup

• Water: No explanation needed here, use any water.
• Sugar: Granulated or cane sugar is best in this recipe. You can use other types of sugar like brown sugar or coconut sugar but it may alter the flavor and strength of the cinnamon.
  • For sugar free cinnamon syrup I recommend allulose for the best result and flavor (directions below).
• Cinnamon Sticks: For the best, natural cinnamon flavor, I always use cinnamon sticks. Just be sure you are using ones that are food grade. They can be found in the baking aisle at your grocery store or online.

How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Simple Syrup

Below is a quick overview of the steps, the recipe card below will have all the information you need.

1. ADD the water, sugar or sugar free allulose sweetener, and cinnamon sticks to a small saucepan.
2. HEAT until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. REDUCE heat to medium- low and allow to simmer.
4. REMOVE from heat and cover the saucepan with it’s lid.
5. COOL to room temperature (this allows it to build even more flavor as it steeps, don’t skip this step).
6. STORE in an airtight container and refrigerate.

How to Make Sugar Free Cinnamon Syrup

It is SO EASY! Just follow this recipe as it is written, the only difference is the sugar. Substitute the 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar or 1.5 (300g) cups of allulose (my favorite). You need more sugar free sugar than normal sugar due to the density and dept of flavor in it.

Servings and Storing Information

This recipes makes 1.5 cups (354ml) of cinnamon simple syrup which is good for 18 to 24 drinks (1.5 tablespoons per drink).

Cinnamon Syrup needs to be stored in the refrigerator and in an airtight container or jar (or it can mold because of the lack of preservatives). If stored properly, it will keep for up to one month.

I also like to freeze simple syrup to add to warm drinks, coffee, and tea. They melt, sweeten, and cool your drink all at the same time! All you have to do is pour the syrup into an ice cube tray and freeze. Pop the frozen syrup cubes into a gallon bag for up to six months.
