Culinary Notes :

Cinnamon Sticks are a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is used in both sweet and savoury foods to impart a warm spice flavour. In the Middle East it is commonly paired with meats such as chicken and lamb. The term ‘cinnamon’ also refers to its mid-brown colour.

• Cinnamon sticks are used to infuse flavour into liquid. Steep then remove and discard before serving
