Making Your Own Cinnamon Oil

I found this recipe a while ago on Healthy Food House. Before reading this blog post I had no idea of the many health benefits of cinnamon!

It seemed easy and I thought I would give it a try.

All you need is 5-6 cinnamon sticks, some olive oil and a jar. Place the cinnamon sticks in the jar and cover with olive oil.

Cover tightly and leave at room temperature for three weeks.

After 3 weeks, strain the liquid through gauze and put it in a dark bottle. You can add the oil in desserts or you can consume a teaspoon of it every morning. It is recommended to be used within one month.

I found some cute little bottles and I thought this would make a great Christmas present. I plan to mix up a batch just before the busy holiday season!
