An easy, sweet, and flavorful syrup with plenty of vanilla and cinnamon. Perfect for making cinnamon dolce lattes, stirring in your morning cup of coffee or tea, or even adding to hot apple cider and hot chocolate.
Add water, cane sugar, and brown sugar to a saucepan, stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Meanwhile, grate the edges of the cinnamon sticks with the fine side of a vegetable grater (optional but helps to bring out the flavor of the cinnamon). I grated about half of a ⅛ tsp. Once the mixture boils, reduce heat to low. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon sticks, and grated cinnamon. Simmer for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Turn off the heat to allow the mixture to cool and thicken for 20-30 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks.
Use or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
