We’ve all relished cinnamon in apple pies and teas, and at one time wondered how a dry-looking spice like cinnamon could add so much flavor to sweets and desserts.

That it’s actually the far more powerful and enchanting form of cinnamon:  cinnamon essence?

And, not just that, it also has properties that make it a wonderful sanitizer that keeps gorgeous homes sparkling clean. Don’t believe me?

Here are 10 amazing uses of, and the secret to, making your own cinnamon essence:

Cinnamon offers the amazing advantage of aiding in digestion. The volatile oil present in this spice is the main agent that causes the fats to break down during digestion. So, adding some cinnamon to your food is a great idea. If your dish is not complemented by its flavor and aroma, you could consider having tea water with a splash of cinnamon. Have it 20-30 minutes before meals and your stomach will stay light after meals.

  • Attentiveness Aid

Science supports the fact that the aroma of cinnamon improves cognitive faculties as well as memory. So, you could either carry a cinnamon stick with you, or you could simply dab a drop of cinnamon essential essence on your handkerchief, and take a whiff every now and then to stay attentive.

It also works well if taken internally. So, you could consider adding a few drops of cinnamon essence to you morning coffee or tea, or even your cereal to begin an alert morning.

  • Insect/Moth Repellant

Now, when you go Googling for cinnamon, the most trending thing that you will find it the cinnamon syrup. As the internet is going ga ga over it, big box stores like Walmart are sure to cash in on it with their own frankenfood version. Why not make a wholesome version of it at home your family can treasure rather than subjecting our loved ones to dangerous ingredients?

All you need to do is take a cup of purified water, add a cup of cane sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a sauce pan. Bring the concoction to boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Pour it into a mason jar while still hot (but put about one inch of warm water on the bottom to prevent cracking), and let it cool with a closed lid.

You can add this delightful to your pies, desserts, ice-creams, hot beverages, and cocktails, and so much more!

This citrusy-sweet miracle is an absolute boon for the summer thirst.

  1. Just use one cinnamon stick for every pint of water
  2. Heat the water with organic 3-inch Ceylon cinnamon stick(s) on in your saucepan until it boils.
  3. Let the cinnamon steep up to 45 minutes
  4. Add 4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime and beat the heat!
  5. Mixing it 50{69fcebbf2fd46bfd8906d5db9316a07bc7651a9ae6ae6847b173ec1b9d308561} with sparkling water (e.g. San Pellegrino) optional

This naturally disinfecting drink will have your mouth feeling clean and fresh, and with the anti-inflammatory properties of lime and cinnamon, you will well be on your way to recovery after a long jog or trip to the gym. You’ll also be in great shape for your next meal, as they also both promote healthy digestion, and the minerals in the San Pellegrino will help replace what was lost in the workout (especially important for those on a ketogenic diet).  

And now, it’s time to reveal a big secret!

You would have noticed that many hacks we have divulged really revolved around Ceylon cinnamon sticks. Any particular reason? Yes, of course!

Ceylon cinnamon, aka “real cinnamon” has the maximum properties you want for cinnamon in its delightful scent and its sweet taste. What we see on the supermarket shelves as cinnamon extract is actually cassia, a Chinese cousin of Ceylon cinnamon that is similar but not the same, and somewhat inferior.

Why inferior? The Chinese cassia cinnamon has a higher concentration of a compound called coumarin, as compared to its Ceylonese cousin. This compound though an anti-coagulant, is also poisonous in its most concentrated forms. Ceylon Cinnamon, however, has not only ultra low proportions of coumarin, it is also richer in natural volatile oils than those found in cassia. That being said, though the internet has many a time alleged cassia for being lethal, you may have to consume more than 50 kg of it a day to keel over.  Moral of the story:  take advantage of the subtle sweet taste and delightful fragrance of Ceylon cinnamon sticks, as they are the best source of the oils that are so incredibly versatile for healing, disinfecting, deodorizing, dealing with dehydration, and creating the most wonderful delicacies.

So, go on and treat yourself to Ceylon cinnamon sticks, the delight of those who treasure the finer things in life.
