Hmmm, this recipe sounds too much like the instructions for setting up a 
'still.  I don't think I will try it while I live in this country unless the 
laws change.  My Grandaddy may have been the Barbour County Moonshiner, but 
my Daddy was a revenuer.    

Does anyone know if there is a commercially available product similar to the 
product produced by this recipe?    The cinnamon would make it interesting,
