Alright, let’s talk about this cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup stuff. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I can make this stuff, and it’s good, real good.
First off, what is this cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup anyways? Well, it’s like, sugar water, but way better. You take sugar, brown sugar that is, the kind that looks like dirt but tastes like heaven, and you melt it down with some water. Then you throw in some cinnamon, the stuff you sprinkle on your oatmeal, you know? And bam! You got yourself some fancy syrup.
Now, why you’d want this stuff? Well, let me tell ya, it’s good for a whole lotta things. You can put it in your coffee, makes it taste all sweet and spicy. My grandbaby, she likes it in her milk, calls it “special milk.” Kids these days, always gotta have somethin’ special.
- You can drizzle it on pancakes, way better than that fake maple syrup stuff they sell at the store.
- You can pour it over ice cream, makes it all melty and gooey.
- Heck, you can even put it in your cocktails, if you’re fancy like that. I ain’t much of a drinker myself, but I hear it makes a good old-fashioned even better.
So, how do you make this here syrup? It’s easy as pie, even I can do it, and I ain’t got much patience for fancy cookin’. You take a cup of water, dump it in a pot. Then you take a cup of brown sugar, pack it down good, and dump that in too. Now, for the cinnamon, I just kinda sprinkle it in, maybe a tablespoon or two, depends on how strong you like it. You can always add more later, can’t take it out though, so don’t go crazy.
Then you put the pot on the stove, medium heat, you know, not too hot, not too cold. And you stir it, keep stirrin’ till all that sugar melts down. It’ll get all bubbly and foamy, that’s good, means it’s workin’. Just keep stirrin’ so it don’t stick to the bottom and burn. Burnt sugar ain’t no good, tastes like somethin’ the cat dragged in.
Once all the sugar’s melted, you let it simmer for a bit, maybe five minutes or so, just to let all them flavors meld together. Then you take it off the stove and let it cool down. It’ll thicken up a bit as it cools, that’s what you want. And that’s it! You got yourself some cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup.
Now, some folks like to add fancy things, like vanilla extract or a pinch of salt. You can do that if you want, but I like to keep it simple. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with simple, ya know? Simple things are often the best.
This syrup, it’ll keep in the fridge for a good while, a couple of weeks at least. Just put it in a jar or a bottle, somethin’ with a lid, and stick it in the fridge. That way, you got it whenever you need a little somethin’ sweet and spicy.
And let me tell you, this stuff is a lifesaver when you got company comin’ over. You can whip up a batch of pancakes, drizzle some of this syrup on top, and everyone thinks you’re a gourmet cook. They don’t need to know it only took you ten minutes to make. That’s our little secret, okay?
So there you have it, my recipe for cinnamon brown sugar simple syrup. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed. And if you mess it up, well, don’t come cryin’ to me. Just try again, that’s what I always say. Life’s too short to worry about a little burnt sugar.
And one last thing, if you’re makin’ a big batch, you might wanna double or triple the recipe. This stuff goes fast, especially if you got kids around. They’ll be puttin’ it on everything, I swear. But hey, at least it’s better than all that store-bought junk they try to sell ya these days. This here syrup, it’s made with love, and that’s what makes it special, just like my grandbaby’s special milk.
Making syrup ain’t hard, you see. Just sugar, water, and a bit of that cinnamon tree. Simmer it down, let it cool, then you got a treat, sweet enough to make you tap your feet.
