Homemade syrup too sweet? - Tiki Drinks and Food

I did the usual 1 cup water + 1 cup sugar + 3 crushed cinnamon sticks (I actually doubled it given the amount I needed). After tasting it, it tastes super sugary, although the cinnamon flavor holds up and is legit. Am I too used to the commercial stuff by BG Reynolds and Monin? Should I try reducing the sugar from 1 cup to 3/4 cup, or is my taster just off when it comes to homemade?
