Ingredients

less than 1 l

1

Place all the ingredients in a pot and boil for about 30 minutes.
2

Some foam will start to form so you need to skim it off.
3

Keep it over strong heat.
4

After about half an hour it will start to rise which means it has thickened enough.
5

Remove from heat.
6

Strain while it is hot because it will thicken as it starts to cool and will be hard to strain.
7

Set it aside to cool thoroughly. The result will be a very thick syrup. Store in a bottle, preferably glass.
8

You can keep it in the fridge or at room temperature.
9

To serve, fill 1/3 of a glass with kanelada and then add 2/3 of water or crushed ice.

In some areas where it snows, they serve it with snow (which is a bit counter-intuitive because when it is cold you want to drink something hot, but if you are in good company and next to the fireplace, it is extremely enjoyable!!!)
