Tips on How To Make Cinnamon Recipes
- Choose the right type of cinnamon: Not all cinnamon is the same. Cassia cinnamon has the bold, familiar flavor most people know, while Ceylon cinnamon is lighter and sweeter. Using the right one can make a big difference in how your recipe tastes.
- Pair cinnamon with the right ingredients: Cinnamon works beautifully with apples, pears, pumpkin, nuts, chocolate, and even meats. Combining it with the right foods makes the flavor shine and creates a dish that feels balanced and delicious.
- Store cinnamon the proper way: Keep it in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. This simple step helps preserve its aroma and flavor, so your recipes always taste as good as they should.
