Cinnamon Simple Syrup

0 Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
1 Break the cinnamon sticks up into smaller pieces and add then to the pan.
2 Stir frequently to help the sugar dissolve, then bring the liquid to a boil.
3 Once bubbling, reduce the heat and simmer for five to ten minutes, or until the liquid is a pale yellow and flavorful.
4 Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool fully before removing the cinnamon sticks. If any small particles remain, you can strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer.
5 Store your cinnamon simple syrup in a glass bottle or jar in the refrigerator for at least two weeks.
