## At a glance

- **Botanical name:** Cinnamomum verum
- **Plant part:** Inner bark
- **Extraction:** Steam-distilled
- **Aroma:** Warm, sweet, spicy
- **Origin:** Sri Lanka and Malabar coast, India
- **Blends with:** Cider, coffee, baked goods

## Key constituents

- **Cinnamaldehyde** (65-80%) — The dominant compound; gives cinnamon bark its warm, spicy-sweet heat
- **Eugenol** (5-10%) — Also found in clove; adds a warm, slightly medicinal spice note
- **Linalool** — A trace floral-woody compound that softens the sharpness of the cinnamaldehyde

## How to use it

- **In the kitchen:** 1 drop flavors baked goods, mulled cider, or spiced coffee, per label directions.
- **Start small:** Use far less than a pinch of ground cinnamon; the oil is much stronger.

## Safety

- A very potent 'hot' oil — use very sparingly (start with 1 drop), dilute in an edible carrier oil, and follow label directions.
