Chef’s Secret

For a stronger infusion, gently crush the tea bag or steep it for a longer duration in very hot, but not boiling, water.

Substitutions

Best Match

Cinnamon Sticks

1:1

Provides a cleaner, more intense cinnamon flavor for infusion, without tea bag residue.

Ground Cinnamon

1:0.5 (tea bag to tsp)

Suitable for adding flavor directly to dishes, but can create a cloudy beverage.

Nutmeg

1:0.5 (tea bag to tsp)

Offers a warm, sweet spice profile, but distinct from cinnamon.

Allspice

1:0.5 (tea bag to tsp)

A blend of warm spices in one, suitable for similar applications where warmth is desired.

Buying Guide

Check for 100% cinnamon if no other ingredients are desired. Store in a cool, dry place.
