Instructions
Make the Cinnamon-Infused Simple Syrup
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, measure out the water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Add in the cinnamon sticks, and cover for 30 minutes to three hours. (The longer the simple syrup infuses, the more cinnamon-y it will become. Proceed with caution.)
When the syrup has finished infusing (and tastes good to you!), strain and pour into a mason jar. Refrigerate until time to make cocktails.
