Cinnamon Simple Syrup

This is my first instructable! :) I enjoy mixing drinks and began flavoring/experimenting while attending bar in college.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

4 cups Sugar
4 cups water
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Oil
3 Cinnamon Sticks

Cinnamon oil can be found in the candy section of your local craft store.

Step 2: Let's Make Syrup!

Combine the sugar, water and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved stir in cinnamon oil.

Step 3: Cool!!!

Remove from the heat, cover, and let cool. Store in the refrigerator.

*no animal testing!!! Cats do not enjoy this concoction.

Step 4: Get Creative!!!

Here's a sample to get your creative juices flowing...

I'd say a month before it spoils. I've read that a tablespoon of vodka in the quart jar would help it last as long as 3 months.

How long does it last in a jar if kept in the fridge? Sounds good!
