I made some cinnamon syrup in January using the recipe in Sippin' Safari and it came out great--but even at 1:1 it's plenty strong. I was concerned because I didn't have all the different filtering processes--I just kept pouring it through a strainer until the cinnamon pieces got smaller. However, once I made drinks with it (sometimes which called for a strained drink) I didn't notice any particles in the taste (and a little fiber never hurt anyone). When my St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram bottle runs out (great, but ouch! in the pocketbook) I'm going to take a stab at making that (though with proper straining methods).
