To make the cinnamon dolce syrup, add granulated sugar, light brown sugar, water, and ground cinnamon to a medium-sized saucepan.
Placed a saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Decrease the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for five minutes. Then transfer the syrup to a container with a lid, preferably something like a glass jar.
Store in the fridge until you are ready to use, or up to one week.
