This recipe calls for only a handful of ingredients, such as brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, which was perfect for creating a touch of luxury in my everyday beverages.
After my first attempt to this this, I also realized that the sweetness and spice levels could be adjusted to my liking.

Equipment RequiredÂ
- Saucepan: I always use a medium-sized saucepan. It gives the syrup enough space to bubble up.
- Whisk: I highly recommend using a whisk to mix everything smoothly because it helps dissolve the sugar and makes sure that the syrup is blended properly.
- Measuring Cups And Spoons: Measuring cups and spoons come in handy to measure the ingredients accurately.
- Fine-Mesh Strainer: You will also need a fine mesh strainer to strain the syrup to achieve a smooth consistency.
Cinnamon Dolce Syrup Ingredients And SubstitutionsÂ
Note: The ingredients mentioned below will help you serve 1 person.
- 1 Cup Water
- ¾ Cup Cane Sugar: You can also use granulated sugar as a substitute.
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar: You can also mix ¼ cup granulated sugar with one teaspoon of molasses to mimic brown sugar. It will also give you the same sweetness and flavor.
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks: I recommend using ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon per stick of cinnamon powder if you do not have cinnamon sticks handy.
- ¼ Tablespoon Vanilla Extract: If I don’t have vanilla extract handy, I substitute vanilla powder or vanilla bean paste.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Trust me, splurging on high-quality ingredients like real vanilla extract and fresh cinnamon sticks will make a huge difference in the flavours.
- The classic base for dolce syrup is a simple 1:1 ratio of sugar to water. This gives you a syrup that’s sweet but not too thick.
- I always keep the flame on medium and take time to cook the syrup. Slow and steady wins the race, which is applicable here if you want to make a perfect syrup.
- At times, I also use a candy thermometer to prevent burning my syrup. If the temperature exceeds 320° F / 160° C, I turn the heat off.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

- Paleo: Whenever I served this syrup to people on a paleo diet, I simply used honey instead of cane sugar.
- Low-Sugar: I recommend using maple syrup or stevia in place of cane sugar and brown sugar. You can also add brewed, sugar-free vanilla extract for a subtler taste.
