How to Use

Cooking: Add a whole cinnamon quill to stews, curries, rice dishes or slow-cooked recipes to impart a rich, aromatic flavour. Remove before serving.
Mulled Drinks: Add cinnamon quills to warmed apple juice or other spiced drinks, along with orange peel, cloves and star anise.
Baking: Use to infuse milk, syrups or other liquids before incorporating into desserts and baked goods.
Precautions
Cinnamon is generally suitable for culinary use in normal food quantities.
As Indonesian cinnamon is typically a cassia-type cinnamon, it may contain appreciable amounts of naturally occurring coumarin. Avoid excessive or prolonged daily consumption, particularly if you have liver problems.
If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, seek professional advice before using cinnamon in concentrated herbal preparations.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in an airtight container to preserve freshness and aroma.
