Cinnamon, the ancient flavor champion and healing wonder, has been spicing up dishes and remedies for ages, particularly in Asia. Yet, watch out for coumarin – too much can stir up trouble, especially if you have a cranky liver.

Store in a cool, dark place in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
 
Add to potpourri displays and use in floral crafts.  Add to mulled wine or infuse in alcoholic spirits.
