Cinnamon Syrup
Step 1
In a medium pot, whisk together 1 cup (220 g) granulated sugar and 1 cup water over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add 3 cinnamon sticks and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes to infuse flavor. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Once cooled, strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard cinnamon sticks. Store in a clean, resealable container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
