Badia Cinnamon Sticks, 1.5 oz

Whole cinnamon sticks — bark quills that infuse warm, sweet aromatics into liquid as they steep or simmer. A 1.5 oz pack covers a season of chai, café de olla, and braised rice dishes.

Common Uses

Simmer into Mexican café de olla, champurrado, and arroz con leche. Build Indian masala chai, biryani aromatics, and pulao base. Anchor Middle Eastern lamb stews, Moroccan tagines, and Persian rice with barberries. Steep in mulled wine, hot cider, and poached fruit.

Cuisine Context

This is the form cinnamon takes when the recipe demands slow release rather than instant flavor. Indian cooks bloom sticks in ghee at the start of biryani. Mexican abuelas drop them in clay pots for coffee. North African and Levantine cooks tuck them into braises with bay and cardamom.

Pro Tip

Crack the stick in half before adding to short-cook dishes like chai — more surface area means faster infusion. For long braises, leave it whole so it doesn't break apart and turn gritty.
