This syrup infuses cinnamon sticks into a basic sugar-water base, producing a fragrant sweetener for coffee, cocktails, and lemonade. Simmering and steeping draw out the spice's warmth without any bitterness, and the syrup keeps well refrigerated for weeks.

- 4 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
Method
-
Combine the sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan.
-
Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.

-
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle, discarding the cinnamon sticks.
-
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
