To make the maple cinnamon simple syrup, add the water, syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks to a pot. Whisk and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer on VERY low heat for 30 minutes. Cool and store in refrigerator for use. You can keep the cinnamon sticks in or remove them. The cinnamon taste will get stronger if you leave them in.
