Uses

• The Perfect Tadka: Add a 1-inch stick to hot oil or ghee along with cloves and cardamom to create a fragrant base for Biryanis and Dals.

• Weight Loss Tea: Boil a cinnamon stick with water and a slice of lemon to create a popular detox drink that aids fat burning.

• Baking & Oats: Grate a small portion over morning oatmeal, apple pies, or muffins for a natural, sweet warmth.

• Warm Beverages: Stir your hot chocolate, coffee, or mulled cider with a whole cinnamon stick for an elegant look and infused flavor.

• Smoothies: Blend a small piece into fruit smoothies to balance the sweetness with its earthy notes.

Storage Instructions

• Air-Tightness is Key: Store in a sealed glass jar; once the bark is exposed to air for too long, it loses its volatile oils and signature scent.

• Cool, Dark Place: Keep away from the heat of the stove or direct sunlight to prevent the spice from becoming brittle and flavorless.

• Test for Freshness: To check if your Dalchini is still potent, rub a small piece—if it doesn’t release a strong, sweet aroma, it’s time to restock.

Fun Facts

• The Gift of Kings: In ancient times, cinnamon was so highly prized that it was considered a gift fit for monarchs and gods.

• Two Main Types: While most people know “Cassia” (thick bark), “Ceylon” cinnamon (thin, rolled layers) is often called “True Cinnamon.”

• Inner Bark: Unlike many spices that are seeds or fruits, cinnamon is actually the inner bark of a specific species of evergreen tree.
