How to use

Ingredients

  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. [Authentic Recipe]
  2. Cut branches of the cinnamon tree, strip the hard outer bark, extract only the soft, highly aromatic inner bark, and sun-dry (curls into sticks).
  3. Use as sticks to flavor tea (like Elma Çayı), or grind finely into powder with a mill.
  4. When making pilaf (like İç Pilav), add powder while sautéing rice to transfer the aroma to the oil. For milk puddings, sprinkle heavily on the surface to highlight the sweet scent.

Trivia

[Trend] The depth of Turkish cuisine lies in 'using cinnamon for meat dishes'. Combine pine nuts, currants, and cinnamon, and an 'Ottoman court-style' flavor is instantly complete.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Sprinkle so massively that the surface of winter hot drinks 'Salep' or 'Boza' turns completely brown, and sip while almost choking on the aroma!
