What's the difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon for making cinnamon sugar?

The primary difference between Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon, often used in making cinnamon sugar, lies in their flavor profiles. Ceylon cinnamon, known as “true cinnamon,” offers a sweeter and more delicate taste, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a milder and more complex flavor. On the other hand, Cassia cinnamon is bolder and spicier, which can be ideal for those seeking a more intense cinnamon kick in their blend. When crafting your cinnamon sugar, consider your personal taste preferences and the dish you plan to use it in. Each variety lends its unique charm to your creations.

Can I store cinnamon sugar for an extended period, and how can I keep it fresh?

Absolutely, you can store your homemade cinnamon sugar for an extended period. To maintain its freshness and flavor, it’s best to keep it in an airtight container. An opaque, airtight jar or a sealable bag works well. The key is to shield it from moisture, light, and air, which can compromise its quality over time. Properly stored, your cinnamon sugar can last for months, ensuring that you always have this delightful spice blend on hand for your culinary adventures.
