Recipe Tips
- Always use a larger saucepan than you think you’ll need to account for the foaming when baking soda is added.
- Consistent whisking prevents the syrup from sticking to the pan and ensures a smooth texture.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Buttermilk: Achieving the perfect texture and taste heavily depends on using real buttermilk. Buttermilk Substitutes might not give you the desired outcome, but can be used in a pinch.
- Baking Soda: Wondering about the baking soda? It interacts with the buttermilk, causing a foaming reaction which gives the syrup its unique texture. Don’t skip it!
- Sugar: while you might be tempted to replace sugar with alternatives like erythritol, remember that it might slightly alter the end product’s taste and consistency.
Variations
Maple-Cinnamon Syrup: Add 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract to the mixture along with the vanilla extract for a deeper, woodsy sweetness.
Pumpkin Pie Syrup: Swap the cinnamon in this recipe for pumpkin pie spice. This incorporates the cozy flavors of nutmeg, cloves, and allspice with cinnamon for the perfect fall syrup.
Chai Spiced Cinnamon Syrup: Incorporate a teaspoon of chai spice mix for a blend of warming spices.
Storage Instructions
Once prepared, transfer the syrup to a jar or other air-tight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will thicken upon cooling but can be easily reheated in a microwave or stovetop.
SHELF LIFE: This syrup stays good in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Can this be canned to give as gifts?
You could put it in jars to give as gifts, but as to actual pressure canning….this recipe was not written for that and I cannot say one way or another because I’m not a canning specialist.
Newbie cook here. What is the purpose of the baking soda, and can it be omitted, or is it an essential ingredient?
The baking soda provides a chemical reaction with the buttermilk. It foams up and changes the texture of the syrup.
Rachel, such a creative syrup. I can see so many uses for this and can't wait to try it out!
Wow – just wow! I love the sound of this and the only reason I'm not going to make it anytime soon is that I'd just find ways to eat it all myself. But next time I have a brunch party – watch out!
I know what Im making this weekend…can;t wait to try it
can't wait to make this tonight!
Wow, looks amazing! How long do you think it would last in the fridge for? And could I use natural plain yoghurt instead of buttermilk? Thanks ๐
I know it lasts for at least 2 weeks in the fridge, but we always devour it all before then. I've never reached the point for it to go bad.
As far as the substitution, I would not recommend it. It won't turn out the same at all.
Oh, meant to say I didn't add the corn syrup, and it turned out just fine. Real, thick buttermilk certainly helped, too. Yum. Again.
Ummmm … corn syrup isnโt in the ingredient list. Der?
Oh. Wow. I made this the other day, and it is FANTASTIC… stirred into coffee, poured over oatmeal (or just about anything), or just eaten off of a spoon. Thank you for helping the world to know about this, I will continue to spread the word.
Wow, no words. This sounds DELICIOUS.
