No cinnamon simple syrup? No problem, substitute with regular simple syrup or skip it for less sugar.

How to Make Cinnamon Simple Syrup

You will need 1 cup of water, ¾ cup of sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Place the water and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes and then carefully remove the cinnamon sticks. Add the sugar, stir to combine, and bring to a boil again. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from the heat. Allow the syrup to cool before placing it in a sealable bottle or jar. Store the syrup in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
