How to Make Syrup Using Fresh Cinnamon Sticks

Essentially this is cinnamon infused maple syrup. The process of heating cinnamon sticks in syrup melds the two flavors together and let me tell you, it’s a match made in heaven.

Be sure to use fresh cinnamon sticks which you can find in the spice section of the grocery store. You can keep the cinnamon sticks in an airtight container for up to 6 months for future syrup making.
