Homemade Brown Sugar Syrup

This is so easy--you'll never buy syrup again!

1 cup water
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Dash cinnamon

1- Bring water to a boil. Add brown sugar. Stir occassionally. Boil 3 minutes.
2- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon.

I store this in a quart mason jar. Does not need to be refrigerated.

Cute story: This is my husband's family's recipe. One day Marty's sister found a glass in the fridge that looked like root beer and took a swig only to find that it was really brown sugar syrup. After that, they affectionately named this syrup "Root Beer Syrup" and that's what they call it to this day.
