In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the cinnamon is well integrated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Let the syrup cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean, airtight container or jar.
Allow the syrup to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
