Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 3 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously for 2 minutes to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the cinnamon flavor infuses the syrup.
  3. Cool Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool down for approximately 5 minutes to prevent curdling when adding dairy.
  4. Add Vanilla and Milk: Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup evaporated milk into the warm syrup until smooth and fully incorporated, resulting in a creamy and aromatic finish.

Notes

  • Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Reheat gently before using for best pourable consistency.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity according to your taste preference for spice intensity.
  • This syrup works wonderfully over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or as a flavor enhancer in coffee and desserts.
