Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or 1 cinnamon stick
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Whisk together ½ cup water, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick), ⅛ teaspoon ground coriander, and ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice in a small saucepan.
  2. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Maintain a low simmer for 4-6 minutes, whisking occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves. Avoid boiling to preserve the flavors.
  3. Strain (Optional): For an extra smooth syrup, strain out the spices using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  4. Cool and Store: Allow the syrup to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container such as a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use a cinnamon stick for a milder, more natural cinnamon flavor, or ground cinnamon for a stronger spice.
  • Do not boil the syrup to prevent bitterness and maintain clarity.
  • Perfect for cocktails, coffee, lattes, or drizzling over desserts.
  • Store syrup refrigerated to maintain freshness and flavor.
