A cozy and sweet homemade brown sugar cinnamon dolce syrup perfect for fall lattes, made with simple pantry ingredients and slow simmered for rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar (about 200g)
  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 2 whole cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup water. Add 2 cinnamon sticks and a pinch of salt if using. Stir gently to moisten the sugar evenly.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves completely into the water, about 5 minutes, until the liquid turns a rich amber color.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10-12 minutes to infuse the cinnamon flavor deeply.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  5. Let the syrup cool for about 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks with tongs. For a smooth syrup, strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools and can be stored for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Do not skip the simmer step to avoid grainy texture. Use whole cinnamon sticks for best flavor. Add vanilla extract off the heat to preserve aroma. If syrup is too thick after cooling, stir in warm water; if too thin, simmer longer. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Warm before use if thickened.
