Steps In Making Cinnamon Flavored Toothpicks

By Roseann Hudson


For many years now, cinnamon has been used to spice food. In the recent past, people have learnt the art of making cinnamon flavored toothpicks to help them consume more of the cinnamon. This is because it has a great medicinal value, it used to get rid of bad breath, and it also helps in getting rid of food particles from teeth. To make cinnamon toothpicks, you need cinnamon liquid, the sticks and an airtight jar.

To make a toothpick of this kind, the following stages must be followed. To begin with cinnamon is placed in an airtight container. The container should neither be too large nor too small for you to get the best results. Simply put, the size of the container used should be dependent on the number of sticks that will be placed inside it. It is however recommended not to flavor so many sticks at one go as this might greatly reduce their quality.

The next step is to put the number of wooden sticks that you want to make toothpicks from. They should be the height of the container so that it can be closed easily. So as to maximize the container, ensure that they completely fill all the spaces that are available. Five hundred would be a good number for a medium sized container.

The next step will be to cover the container with a lid. Make sure there is no air getting in or out. If this happens, then the flavor could be diluted, and the process could backfire. The container should be placed in a place where it will not be shaken or toppled over. Do not do any heating to as the process should take place at its own natural pace without any disturbance.

You should let the jar remain that way overnight. This is to allow enough time for the sticks to absorb as much flavor as possible. Even though the cinnamon is only a small amount, you will find that it will work effectively because of its strong scent and the air tight container. In the morning, you will find that the stick will be wet from the cinnamon, and they will have acquired this flavor.

After twelve hours, you may remove the sticks from the container. You should place them on the material that does not absorb moisture preferably an aluminum foil. Once they are all arranged on the foil, you should place them outside when there is sunshine to allow them adequate time to dry up.

You cannot know if they are dry by just looking at them, you will have to feel with your hands. When you are sure that they are completely dry, it means that they are ready to use. They are completely safe and healthy too. Handle them in a clean environment and with clean hands.

You should place these sticks in a clean container that allows little or no air to get inside. This ensures that the sticks do not lose their sweet flavor easily. If the sticks are for commercial purposes, the containers you place them in should even be more airtight and clean. This is also a requirement by public health officials so as to avoid any possible outbreak of mass infections.
