Cinnamon ~ Indonesian Cassia
$8.00 – $21.60The Greek poet, Sappho, referenced Cassia in 7th century B.C. Though not the “true” Cinnamon, Cassia (also called Chinese Cinnamon) is often sold as Cinnamon in the U.S., where it’s preferred for its strong, spicy and lingering flavor.
Use in both sweet and strong savory dishes: candies, baked goods, meats, preserves, curries, and hot beverages. Cassia, with its intense aromatic qualities and taste, is the popular choice for Cinnamon Rolls.

When I lived in Germany Gluehwein (Hot Mulled Wine) was a seasonal favorite at the Christmas Markets. I was surprised and pleased to find this spice. It sure brings back fond memories! Pick a nice red wine as your base. I open the wine, put about a tablespoon of the spice mix in the bottle, then cork it back up for a day. Next put the wine in a glass container, warm it for 30 seconds, then stir in 1/4 of a cup of sugar to 1 1/2 cups of wine. Heat in 30 second increments, and enjoy! A nice cinnamon stick is the perfect garnish if you want to be fancy!
