Tips for Making Cinnamon Simple Syrup
Tips
Customizable Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet syrup, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
Infusion Variations: Experiment with adding other spices to the syrup. A couple of cloves, a star anise, or a few slices of fresh ginger can add an interesting twist.
Gift Idea: This syrup makes a wonderful homemade gift. Pour it into small decorative bottles, label them, and give them to friends and family during the holiday season.
How to Store Cinnamon Syrup
Refrigeration: After making the syrup, let it cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freezing: For longer storage, pour the cooled syrup into an ice cube tray, freeze until solid, then transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag. This way, you can conveniently use individual portions as needed.
