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 for Cinnamon Dolce Coffee Syrup

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

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