Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cinnamon Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is fully dissolved.

    Once the sugar has dissolved, add the cinnamon and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the cinnamon flavor.

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cinnamon syrup cool to room temperature.

    If desired, crush the Red Hots candy into smaller pieces and add it to the mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
