Cut and washed, thick quill cassia vera AA from Padang, Sumatra. These cinnamon sticks are available in a variety of lengths. Choose whatever best suits your needs for cinnamon stirring sticks, beverage flavoring, or decoration.
2-3 inch sticks are a nice size to add to a jar of jelly or preserved fruit.
4 inch sticks make nice stir sticks for cocktail-sized glasses, often used for Old Fashioneds.
The 6 inch sticks are nice for stir sticks in taller glasses or mugs for Irish coffee, Tom & Jerrys, or hot cocoa.
The 8 inch and longer sticks add charm as large stirrers in holiday punch bowls, or for freshly-made eggnog. These large cinnamon sticks are often used in crafts. If you dry the stick after using, you can re-use them 3 or 4 times.
Many people break up their sticks and add the pieces to mulled wine or hot apple cider. Just simmering plain cinnamon sticks in hot water, for 15 minutes or so, will make your home smell wonderful!
All lengths are priced the same. Obviously, the shorter the stick, the more pieces you will get per ounce. There are about seven 2.75" sticks, five 4" sticks, or two 12" sticks per ounce.
We owe much to the fruitful meditation of our sages, but a sane veiw of life is, after all, elaborated mainly in the kitchen.
