Editor's Note

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To make cinnamon syrup, simmer together 1 cup of water with 1 cup of superfine sugar and a heaping 1/2 ounce of cinnamon bark over low heat for several minutes. Cool, strain and refrigerate in an airtight container. To make Donn's spices simmer together 1 cup of water with 1 cup of superfine sugar and the contents of a vanilla bean (split open and scrape) over low heat for several minutes. Cool, add 1 cup of allspice dram and refrigerate in an airtight container.)
