Tips & Tricks
- You can adjust the cinnamon, to taste. More ground cinnamon will give a deeper, stronger finished flavor and less will yield more of a subtle hint.
- Be sure you’re using granulated sugar and not some other kind like powdered or brown.
- If you live in a humid climate, you can add a food grade moisture absorber to the cinnamon sugar before storing to prevent it from clumping up and sticking together in between uses.
- Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee in place of plain sugar for a cozy start to the day.
- Homemade cinnamon sugar makes a great edible gift idea, and the recipe easily doubles or triples to make a larger batch. After whisking it together, transfer the mixture to small, decorative jars for a pretty presentation.
