Cinnamon Water

Ingredients
14 ounces of Cinnamon Bark or Cinnamon Sticks. Not powdered Cinnamon
2-3 gallons of Water
Directions
In a large pot bring the Water to a boil and add Cinnamon and bring to a boil.  Simmer at a low boil 30-45 min. Or reduce down as desired, the more reduction the stronger the flavor.  Remove from heat and let steep for 1-2 hours until desired sweetness. It is really sweet!
Abstinent Measuring
Have as much as you want!
Note
Cinnamon Bark is available cheaply in bulk at Indian and Mexican food stores. It does not have to be exactly 14 ounces. That's how much in the package that I use.
Serving Suggestions
·   use it to make coffee.
·   When mixed with Hibiscus Blossoms makes a delicious very sweet iced or hot beverage.
·   Use for Sautéed Apples and Bananas. 
·   Makes a great Gelato.....see recipe.
·   add to Smoothies especially Pumpkin smoothies.
·   use anywhere where you want a Cinnamon sweetness
