thanks for sharing your knowledge..

Really interested in making this as I want to make cinnamon hard candies and gummies with it. The recipe seems easy enough using the sticks which id prefer to ground cinnamon. However, it’s mid winter so not much sun and when there is, it isn’t really warm. I live in an apartment so finding the ideal “warm” spot for the jar to sit for 3 weeks can be tricky. Any suggestions? How warm should it be? I keep my apartment at 76 degrees

We say carrier oil - can I use olive oil - like the olive oil above my stove in my kitchen or is a carrier oil processed

[ShelleyS57]

Plain old olive oil is absolutely perfect for doing this with. And while stated for external use only, that’s nonsense. This oil can be used to cook with (especially if you have used olive oil or other cooking oils that are flavourless. Just be aware that the expiration date of your oil determines how long your cinnamon oil will be good for. I do use mine for cooking and have done for years. I also use cinnamon oil for easing aches and pains as it is great for topical use also just not exclusively for topical use, but for that I use almond oil or almond oil with jojoba oil, simply because it is more easily absorbed into the skin and adds a bit more nutrition for the skin. You could use olive oil for the skin, but it leaves your skin feeling greasy as it doesn’t absorb quickly, but if it is all you have and budget is tight, it will work. It’s even yummy used in an oil for making salad dressings and dips...I love using walnut oil for this, however walnut oil goes rancid pretty quickly, so I only make small amounts.

Good,illtry

Wonderfully simple and infinitely less expensive to make your own. Expect to pay anywhere from 7 dollars and up per ounce. Thanks very much for this! I found some other uses for this oil if anyone is interested:

• Put 2 drops in empty veggie capsule for immune support.
• Use 1-2 drops in an empty veggie capsule or diluted over the abdomen to support pancreatic health.
• Place 1 drop Cinnamon essential oil in hot water or tea and drink slowly to soothe your throat.
• Put 2–3 drops in a spray bottle for a quick and effective cleaning spray.
• Place one drop on your toothbrush then add toothpaste.
• Dilute with a carrier oil then apply to cold, achy joints during winter time.
• Cinnamon oil is said to be an aphrodisiac for many. (I can't vouch
  for that one yet.) Try aromatic or topical usage on a regular basis
  (lower abdomen may be okay but AVOID genitals until highly diluted -
  ouch!).

Any suggestion with what to do with the used cinnamon sticks? Are they useful in the garden or is it best to just toss them?

[Jennprice33]

Hi, I crush mine in a food processor and add them to soy candles, candle melts or in scented arrangements.

[TheCrafter101]

can you use vegetable oil?

[Jennprice33]

Yes, there are many different carry oils you can use.

[7Landers]

You mention that you use it for cooking.... Can you be more specific about how. What types of recipes call for cinnamon oil? I can think of something like chocolate cakes, brownies, or even cinnamon flavored toothpicks, but can't really think of anything else. I'd love to know more ways to use cinnamon. Thanks for your post.

[Jennprice33]

Hi, Anytime a recipe calls for olive oil, you can use the cinnamon oil in its place. I have used it for candies, waffles, pancakes, cookies, greasing a pan, but lately I've been mostly using it for beard balms I make. Thanks for the question!

[lsutton3]

What do you use the cinnamon oil for

[lauracline]

If you are into essential oils at all, it is a GREAT oil to diffuse. Combine it with a few drops of clove and nutmeg oil in the diffuser for an amazing scent.

[Jennprice33]

Great tip! Thank you!
