Pro Tips

Tools Required

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Funnel (optional)

Substitutions & Variations

  • Brown sugar instead of white sugar: For a richer, molasses-like flavor.

Make Ahead Tips

You can make this syrup up to 2 weeks in advance. Just store it in an airtight jar in the fridge and give it a good shake before using.

How to Make Cinnamon Coffee Syrup

1. Combine the ingredients

In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.

2. Heat and stir

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes to thicken slightly.

3. Add the vanilla

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

4. Cool and store

Let the syrup cool completely, then use a funnel to pour it into a glass jar or bottle for storage.

Tips for Leftovers and Storage

  • Store in the fridge in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
  • Shake well before each use, as cinnamon might settle at the bottom.
