How much syrup do you make in a batch? Between cocktails and using the simple and cinnamon syrups for lemonade, mine usually last less than a week. I make a cup of each, keep them in the fridge in empty beer bottles, using Niquil measuring cups as makeshift caps (handy, I just use them to measure what I need for a glass, rinse and replace it on top. I've heard that I could store them outside the fridge since I go through it so fast, but since I can't close them up airtight, I'm afraid I might get ants. howlinowl
