Pack of 6. Cinnamon sticks or Cinnamon quills are wonderfully sweet with warm notes of cloves and citrus. One of the most recognised and used spices worldwide, the renowned flavour is central to international dishes such as Middle Eastern tagines and stews.
Cinnamon quills are fine strips of the inner bark of the cinnamon tree that have been rolled into cylinders and dried. The outer bark that is used for cinnamon bark is usually tougher and less flavourful in comparison.
The subtly spiced flavour works perfectly within mulling drinks such as teas, compotes and wines. Cinnamon sticks can add an elegant and rustic visual element to dishes and beverages. They are sometimes used as stirrers in hot drinks or as decorative elements in cocktails.
Try within lamb, chicken, rice, vegetables and aubergine dishes for a deliciously sweet flavour! Because cinnamon sticks are firm and brittle, they’re suited perfectly to infusing flavour into liquids during cooking or steeping.
