Homemade Cinnamon Powder – Tuesday Tip

How to make Cinnamon powder at home?

This can be prepared by roasting whole cinnamon and then crushing it into a fine powder. While grinding add 1 tbsp of brown sugar (for one cup cinnamon sticks).

Dry roast cinnamon in a pan for 2 minutes on low flame.
Switch off the flame and transfer roasted cinnamon to a big plate. Let it cool completely.
Now grind roasted cinnamon sticks with 1 tbsp of brown sugar.
Homemade Cinnamon powder is ready to use.

How to store?

Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place.
You can make it in bulk. A small amount of it can be stored in a bottle for daily use and the rest can be kept in a refrigerator.
It is best used within three months.

Tip:

If you want very fine powder. Sieve the mixture.
You can also grind cinnamon without sugar. Sugar is added because it creates friction to grind cinnamon into a fine powder.
