I used to store the cinnamon stick in the jars when I put them in the fridge. Seems to work better if you remove the cinnamon sticks after pouring into jars. Cinnamon residue gets really bad after a month or so and makes the 'shine "cloudy". But then again, it's a personal preference. It is YUMMY either way.
the shine is cloudy enough as it is lol. i made a half batch and put in the quart jars. gonna try it as soon as it get nice and cold, just a sip to taste the flavor since i gotta work tonight.
