      • 3 cup spring water
      • 1 teaspoon dried cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick

      2. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 40-45 minutes.
      3. Allow the liquid to cool, and then drain the liquid using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
      4. Press all liquid out of the berries using the back of a wooden spoon.
      5. Add the raw honey and mix well.
