Ingredient Notes
Brown Sugar: I like to use light brown sugar for this recipe. Don't have any on hand? Here is how to make homemade brown sugar!
Cinnamon Stick: A cinnamon stick lends a subtle spice flavor. But you can leave it out if you don't have one or if you want the flavor to be just brown sugar.
Vanilla Extract: A little vanilla complements the brown sugar flavor in this simple syrup and amps the warm flavor up.
Instructions
Step 1. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, water and a cinnamon stick.
Stir, then place the mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Step 2. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and add vanilla extract. The sugar should be completely dissolved.
Pour the syrup into a heat-safe container and store in the refrigerator or allow it to cool slightly and use it immediately.
Uses
