Hi,
For my 1st attempt to make infused syrup, I dropped a cinnamon stick into each 8oz bottle, then filled with hot (185 F) syrup. Capped off and done. Some months later there is a slight "growth" clinging to the cin stick. The syrup is clear and tastes great.
I'm wondering if there's a formula/ratio/ recipe to follow to infuse the syrup while heating it up to bottle then remove the cinnamon sticks so the product has the flavor but not the stick.
Thanks in advance
ps-**** maple bug bit me in the tail end of August and I visit the trees almost daily!
