With a Saturday on the calendar sans plans and a very much pregnant mama walking around, we decided to stay home and do a little tea party with our favorite four year old. We bought a few special things from a favorite local bakery and made {really good} tea sandwiches. I decided we needed just one more thing: scones. How can we have tea without some sort of scone?

So, I had every intention of making this cinnamon dolce syrup from Karen at Kitchen Treaty, but friends, honestly, I don’t know what happened. I suppose it was a happy accident that occurred around 5:50-ish a.m. Instead of the cinnamon in the recipe, I added in a splash {or two} of vanilla extract. And let me tell you, it was amazing! Now, I have no clue what you would even call this now, but for now, let’s just call it...
