Cinnamon Dolce Latte Syrup

Tis' the season for all things spiced, even your morning cup of joe. The Starbuck's Cinnamon Dolce Latte has been a favorite of mine for many years now, in fact I prefer it over a PSL any day. While the Starbuck's version is delicious, it's quite pricey, and I'm not the biggest fan of chemical additives. I've created the next best thing, and I think you'll agree once get a taste.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1 1/2 cups Water

3 Cinnamon Sticks

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients except for the vanilla in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a light boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. (If using a candy thermometer, allow the mixture to heat to approximately 230 F before reducing to a simmer).

2. Remove the syrup from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir.

3. Remove the cinnamon sticks and allow the syrup to cool down before pouring into a jar.

*Add about a tsp-Tbsp of syrup to your cup of coffee or hot cider and drink up!
