@wizzard419:

I'm a fan of making my own syrups but regarding cinnamon syrup, the shop brought wins.

My homemade cinammon syrup was lacking in intensity & of a lighter mouthfeel than shop brought cinnamon syrup. I have made it before & had learnt from my experience - this syrup was better than the last but still not ideal. I could have poured that batch out & started again but I can't abide waste so I 'made do' with the homemade cinnamon syrup for while. When ever I thought of making a drink with cinnamon syrup I'd think 'nah' & make something else. Given the length of time a bottle will last me (6 to 9 months), the cost (£7 / $12) is ok with me.

So, after a hiatus, getting some new supply in is cause for a zombie-celebration :)
