Just started with DIY about a month ago. I have tried several Cinnamon Bakery/Cereal recipes and have not had much success. Everything I have made tastes like Cinnamon Red hots or is harsh and lacking a definitive flavor of any kind. None of them have the rich amber look that commercial juice has or the rich bakery cinnamon that the commercial juice has. Am I missing something or do they need to steep for an extended time? Is there some "secret" ingredient that the commercial juices use that I just haven't discovered in my research yet? Any insight you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
