 * ½ tsp cinnamon
 * ⅛ tsp ground cloves
 * 1 lb phyllo dough
 * ¾ lb unsalted butter, melted

Syrup

 * 1½ cup water
 * 1 cinnamon stick
 * 1½ cups sugar
 * 2 tsp lemon juice

 * 5) Unfold phyllo.
 * 6) Using a sharp knife, carefully cut phyllo sheets crosswise, into thirds.
 * 7) Cover phyllo not being used with a barely damp towel.
 * 8) Using two pieces of phyllo - phyllo sheets are so thin they must be doubled - and keeping narrow ends towards you, brush with butter.
 * 9) Place 1 to 1½ teaspoons filling ¼ inch from end nearest you, to within ¼ inch of sides. Fold long sides in ¼ inch. Fold over bottom to cover filling.
 * 10) Place a clean pencil on top of fold and roll into a cigar-like cylinder.

 * 12) Place roll on cookie sheet and generously brush with butter. Repeat with remaining filling and phyllo.
