Goal and options: How do you make cinnamon simple syrup?
output answer: Combine cup of water and cup of sugar into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Be sure to stir it occasionally. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, the solution will be clear in color. It should take about 3-4 minutes once it begins to boil. Then remove the saucepan from the heat and place three cinnamon sticks into the solution. Allow this to steep until the solution reaches room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the syrup and store the syrup in an airtight container.
