Instructions
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine 240 ml (1 cup) of water, 300 g (1 cup) honey, and 10 g (2 teaspoons) ground cinnamon. Optionally, add a cinnamon stick to enhance the depth of flavor.
Step 2: Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously to blend the honey with water and prevent burning. As the mixture heats, you will see it become more uniform and aromatic.
Step 3: Bring to a Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 4: Add Vanilla Extract
Remove the syrup from heat and stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract for a smooth finish. The vanilla is optional but adds a delightful depth to the flavor.
Step 5: Strain (Optional)
If you used a cinnamon stick or desire a smooth syrup, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the syrup into a heat-safe container. This removes any solids, leaving you a silky smooth syrup.
Step 6: Cool and Store
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator and use within two weeks for the freshest flavor.
