Cinnamon Syrup Recipe

Introduction

This cinnamon syrup is a warm, sweet addition to your favorite drinks and desserts. With a perfect blend of cinnamon and vanilla, it adds cozy flavor to coffee, pancakes, or ice cream.

A clear glass bottle with a wide base and narrow neck is filled about three-quarters with a thick light brown liquid that looks smooth with tiny specks. The bottle has a clear glass handle on one side and a clear glass stopper on top with a wooden top. The surface under the bottle is white with a marbled texture, sprinkled lightly with brown powder. In the foreground, two cinnamon sticks lay on the surface to the right of the bottle. A soft, beige and white striped cloth is draped loosely to the left side. In the blurred background, there is a white plate holding a stack of golden brown pancakes. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

How to Serve

A stack of four thick, soft, light golden pancakes sits on a white plate with a subtle texture. Each pancake shows a smooth, slightly fluffy texture with some air bubbles visible on the sides. A woman's hand is pouring warm, glossy golden-brown syrup from a small clear glass pitcher over the top pancake, with syrup slowly dripping down the sides and pooling slightly on the plate. The background is a soft white marbled texture, and a light beige striped cloth along with some cinnamon sticks lie nearby, adding a cozy, inviting feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
