Over-spiced cider

[schwiz]

I made a 3 gallon batch of cider and when it was finished aging I added to it 4 cinnamon sticks. Its been just about 48 hours and I tasted it again and now unfortunately the cinnamon overpowers everything. Its practically like chewing big red gum.

While its still technically drinkable, I'm sure some people would actually really like it. What can I do to 'fix' it? I figure my two options are to let it age longer and have the cinnamon flavor mellow out. Or, add more juice now and go for a late secondary fermentation. (Its already been aging 10 months).

I've already removed the spices.

Try back sweetening with an apple juice concentrate?

If you want to enhance the original cider flavor, freeze some cider, then let it thaw in a colander, the sugars will melt and separate faster than the water.

Sounds like it is time to make another 10 gallons of cider.
