Shake your apple cider to make sure all the sediment is mixed into your cider, and measure out 1 cup of cider into a 1-quart saucepan.
Add the brown sugar to the apple cider in the saucepan, add the cream of tartar, whisk, and heat over medium heat until it begins to boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat, whisk in the ground cinnamon and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then pour into a glass jar or bottle to cool completely.
Store in the fridge.

Notes
*The cream of tartar helps to prevent re-crystallization of sugar when it's stored in the fridge. You can skip this, however your syrup may get gritty. If you don't have cream of tartar you can stir in 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (the regular kind like Karo, not high fructose corn syrup) one the syrup is done cooking.The apple cider used in this recipe is the unfiltered and pressed apple juice, not the already sweetened and spiced apple cider you'd find in packets. Pure apple cider is basically pressed apple juice that is unfiltered.
