The Story Behind the Recipe

I created this Cinnamon Dolce Syrup awhile back with my Cinnamon Dolce Iced Coffee recipe, but the syrup is SO delicious, I thought it deserved a recipe post all its own!

A few years back, Starbucks had a line of cinnamon dolce flavored coffees – iced coffee, lattes, and iced lattes. Yum! The brown sugar flavor with the kiss of cinnamon was so, so good. So naturally, I had to replicate it at home!

Why You’ll Love Homemade Cinnamon Dolce Syrup

It’s SUPER easy to make. Just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes are all you need.

Not just for coffee. I made this cinnamon dolce syrup for coffee drinks, but it’s amazing over deliciousness like banana waffles or pumpkin pancakes.

Ingredients

Pure maple syrup – I love the warm notes and simplicity of using maple syrup in this cinnamon dolce coffee syrup. You can sub in a simple syrup mix of white sugar and water (1/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1/3 cup water)

Brown sugar – Dark brown sugar will give more molasses notes while lighter brown sugar will have milder flavor.

Cinnamon stick – Helps to infuse cinnamon flavor without any gritty texture.

Vanilla – A splash of pure vanilla extract adds warm mellow flavor.

Adaptation/Variation

Add more spices – throw in some nutmeg, whole allspice, or cloves for a festive fall spin.

How to Make Cinnamon Dolce Syrup

Add the ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat.

Simmer lightly for about 5 minutes until heated through and the brown sugar has dissolved.

Remove from the heat and let cool for about 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick.

Pour into an airtight container to store.

This Cinnamon Dolce Syrup is such an easy way to replicate coffee shop drinks at home. I hope you love it as much as we do!
