Cinnamon Sticks
Stir up something cozy! Cinnamon sticks bring warm spice and inviting aroma to everything from a steaming mug of cider to a slow-simmered pot of comfort food.
Add a stick to coffee, tea, mulled wine, or hot chocolate, or let it simmer in curries, rice dishes, and stewed fruit. The rolled bark releases its flavor gradually, making it perfect for infusing liquids. Remove sticks before serving.
Ingredients: Cinnamon.
Quick Cinnamon Cider: Combine 2 cups apple cider, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 orange slices in a saucepan. Gently simmer for 10–15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve warm.
Cinnamon-Vanilla Rice: Combine 1 cup white rice, water according to package directions, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon butter, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Cook as directed, remove the stick, and fluff for a fragrant side dish.
