Description

Cinnamon syrup is a sweet and aromatic liquid ingredient made by infusing cinnamon sticks in sugar water. Its viscous texture and warm, spicy flavor make it a perfect complement for a wide variety of recipes, from desserts to beverages and even some savory dishes.

Origin: Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of trees of the Cinnamomum genus, native primarily to Sri Lanka, India, and tropical areas of Southeast Asia. Cinnamon syrup, as a preparation, is very popular in Latin American cuisine, where it is used to sweeten and add a characteristic flavor to traditional dishes.

Properties: In addition to its characteristic aroma and flavor, cinnamon possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Cinnamon syrup can provide a sweet touch with a spicy flavor profile and is a practical alternative for incorporating this ingredient into recipes without the need to handle stick or ground cinnamon. It is ideal for hot beverages like coffee and tea, as well as for glazes and desserts.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Although it is commonly known as jarabe de canela, in some countries it may be called names like miel de canela or simply almíbar de canela, depending on the consistency and local preparation.
