Handmade Cinnamon Syrup

Sarah’s Espresso Hut is open and she has a new luscious flavor of syrup to add to your morning latte! Unlike commercial coffee/latte syrups, this will not make your morning coffee taste like a liquid vat of Red Hots, nor is it blazing red. It is a thick, creamy flavored cinnamon, with a hint of exotic vanilla bean, a deep caramel color.

Also delicious over pancakes, waffles, biscuits…..in tea and so on!

Cinnamon Syrup

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar, preferably organic
• 1 cup water
• 4 sticks cinnamon, 4″ or so in length each
• 1 tsp ground vanilla bean or 1″ section vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

Directions:

Add ingredients to a medium heavy saucepan, place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, let boil until sugar is dissolved. Take off heat, let cool.

Strain syrup through a Jelly Strainer Bag or nut milk bag, let drip, do not squeeze bag, discard cinnamon and vanilla. Pour into a decorative jar and store sealed, in refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Makes about 10 ounces.
