Prep Time: 3 mins Yield: ½ cup
Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ – 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon.**
** I use 1 Tbsp. You can use more or less. I think a good range would be ½ – 1½ Tbsp. For me, the maximum quantity for Cinnamon in this recipe should be 1½ Tbsp otherwise the Cinnamon flavor will be overpowering. But it really depends on your taste. Feel free to experiment.
Directions:
- Measure out the ingredients into a clean bowl

- Use the desired immediately and store the ret in an airtight container. I stored mine in an old cinnamon spice container.
