Cinnamon Brown Sugar Coffee Syrup Recipe

Cinnamon brown sugar coffee syrup adds a rich, warm sweetness to your morning coffee and is perfect for fall and winter.

When I think of the cooler months, I think of rich, bold colors, crisp air, beautiful foliage and warm spices. While I’m usually an iced coffee kind of gal, I look forward to being able to sip my hot coffee on a cool autumn morning. Now I don’t know about you, but I love to drink flavors that sort of go with the season, especially when it comes to fall and winter. Cinnamon is one of the spices that comes to mind when I think of flavors that pair wonderfully with this time a year and it’s truly one of my favorites.

There’s something so warm and inviting when it comes to cinnamon that I enjoy adding it to so many baked goods, as well as my coffee. This cinnamon brown sugar coffee syrup is an easy way to add that flavor in. What I love about this recipe is it’s so easy to make and it’s absolutely delicious. I also love that I know the exact ingredients that went into creating it and don’t have to worry about anything funky when it comes to store-bought flavorings. Try making this homemade coffee syrup to keep on hand all season long to enjoy the essence of fall in your morning cup of coffee.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• 1 cup brown sugar

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON BROWN SUGAR COFFEE SYRUP

Add water and brown sugar to a sauce pan and heat over low-medium heat until the brown sugar is dissolved. 

Stir in cinnamon and bring the mixture to a simmer and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it’s reduced and is slightly thicker.

Remove the pan from burner and stir in vanilla.

NOTES

• If you prefer a thicker syrup, simmer for a longer period of time until the liquid has reduced by half.
• I like to make my own homemade brown sugar because it makes this syrup a little richer, but store-bought is fine too.
• You could use pumpkin pie spice in place or in addition to the cinnamon in this recipe.
• Try adding this syrup on top of pancakes and waffles as an alternative to maple syrup.
