I’ll be making the recipe now

Hi Noreen, it will depend on which vendor or package you select from Amazon, there are several options. For freshness, I would consult the expiration date on the package.

Hi Gayle! I bought organic Ceylon cinnamon sticks sold by Frontier Co-op on Amazon. Here’s the link.

Where O Where can we find Ceylon cinnamon sticks?

How nice to see that your reader, Amy, took the time for an important warning! Dr. Michale Greger warned us in 2012 of this potential liver problem at even 1 teaspoon daily and not safe for children ( and perhaps lightweight smaller people like me even at that! You could search his short videos on NutritionFacts with the words Cinnamon and liver toxicity, but I just looked and do not see any updates. An MD reviewed answer to a member’s question (at ConsumerLab.com), “Is cinnamon dangerous for my liver? I put about a teaspoon of it in my oatmeal every day.” was shocking and convincing explaining that some cinnamons may be mis-labeled and actually contain cassia which contains the toxic substance coumarin and has been the straw that broke my denial and today convinced me to quit entirely any cinnamon besides one I confirm to be Ceylon, which is not as tasty, but compared to liver issues, an easy decision. Thank you, Katherine, for spurring me to look again at the research! Your site is new to me and I shall try cinnamon tea if I can find same in Ceylon tea sticks!

Hi Amy, that’s concerning that even one cinnamon stick could be damaging. I’ve not read that. Can you please share your source?

Thank you for your note, O.C.! Sounds like you know good cinnamon. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re living well in your 90s—that’s my goal! Wishing you well!

Awesome! Thank you, Cassandra. It is really the perfect wintery sipper.
