In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 0.5 cup brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the sugars have fully dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 1 cinnamon stick to the saucepan, stirring to mix the spices evenly.
Continue to heat the mixture, allowing it to come to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a low simmer, and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, remove the cinnamon stick from the syrup.
Transfer the syrup into a heat-safe container or bottle for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Shake well before each use to redistribute any settled spices.
