Cinnamon: Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & Th. Nees) Nees ex Blume
Why cinnamon bark chips? Cinnamomum burmannii is an essential spice to have on hand in your cupboard and has been used to add a bold and warming flavor to cuisine for thousands of years. Use these zesty chips or sticks to add a stimulating and spicy lift to hot (and cold!) drinks such as hot cocoa, tea, hot toddies, or even plain warm milk for healthy, normal digestion.
