How to use it more often
In drinks
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on hot chocolate or add a touch to the filter when brewing coffee – it’s also wonderful in smoothies! Drop cinnamon sticks into hot beverages and infuse them with cinnamon taste.
On breakfast
Use with brown sugar as a topping for toast and oatmeal, or stir a bit into pancake batter.
With meat or poultry
For a flavor boost, stir a small quantity into beef, pork or chicken stew.
On fruit
Use with maple syrup on raw or cooked peaches, apples and pears – or, add a teaspoon to homemade or purchased plum or cranberry sauce.
With vegetables
Combine it with honey and brush on roasted squash, eggplant or even tomatoes.
