Handmade Cinnamon Dolce Coffee Syrup
Hey!
If you enjoy coffee like I do, you’ll appreciate this handmade Cinnamon Dolce Coffee Syrup.
It tastes just like the one at your favorite coffee shop, except it’s cheaper and produced right in your kitchen.
You can pour it over pancakes, coffee, or even hot chocolate.
What is the best part?
You probably already have everything you need to make it.
Let’s get going!
Ingredients & Equipment
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of sugar that has been granulated
- 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A medium-sized pot
- A whisk or a spoon
- Spoons and cups for measuring
- A glass jar or bottle to keep it in
Instructions
- Put the water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium pot and stir.
- Put the pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Keep stirring until the sugar is totally gone. Then, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for approximately five minutes, stirring it every so often.
- Take the pot off the heat and mix in the vanilla essence.
- Before moving the syrup to a clean jar or bottle, let it cool all the way down. You can keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh cinnamon: The syrup will taste better if the cinnamon is fresh. If you’ve had ground cinnamon in your cabinet for a long time, it might not work as well.
- Don’t leave out the vanilla essence: It gives the dish a deep, sweet smell and makes the tastes come together properly.
- Want it to be thicker? Let the syrup simmer for a little longer so it can decrease. It will thicken as it cools.
- Stir all the time: This keeps the sugars from burning by adhering to the bottom of the pan.
- If you want to make it without sugar, use a sugar substitute like monk fruit sweetener or erythritol instead of both sugars.
- Spices: For a more nuanced flavor, add a little nutmeg or cloves.
- Maple twist: Use real maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different kind of sweet taste.
Storage
This syrup keeps really well! Make a batch and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Great for quick coffee upgrades on weekdays.
You may keep your syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks if you put it in a sealed jar or bottle. If it gets too thick, just heat it up in the microwave or on the stove for a few seconds.
