Comments

Easy to batch and to make. I do not perceive grapefruit nor cinnamon in taste. But overall taste was very nice and balanced. If you are using cinnamon powder, make sure to simmer just a bit otherwise you gonna have a cinnamon slime, not a syrup, and impossible to filter. Better use sticks...
