The product of a tropical Asian tree, it is not only used as a spice when dried but also has medicinal properties. But why cinnamon? <br /><br />Being fascinated by legends and history, I discovered that cinnamon is an ancient spice steeped in history and tradition. It was a highly prized possession fit for a gift to an Egyptian or Greek monarch or even god. It also has a distinctive aroma which charms me like no other ingredient. The mention of the name inspires me to remember the unique scents of my favourite foods. <br /><br />Cinnamon is my favourite spice due to its aroma and history, and it features frequently amongst my favourite recipes. Sometimes, I even find myself pencilling it in if it is not there. So why don’t you try it and see if you can experience the difference. <br /><br />Till next time<br />God Bless<br /><br />Cinnamon<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4236220944419821249-4488356288207233050?l=cinammonreflections.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cinammonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16599093847639556260noreply@blogger.com0
