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.
