Spicy-sweet with notes of honey and orange peel, this Cinnamon Extract is an infusion of our bestselling Royal Cinnamon in a deliciously warming rye whiskey base. Use it just like vanilla extract in cakes, cookies and brownies, and squeeze a few drops on anything that would benefit from a spicy-sweet boost. Vanilla ice cream, hot chocolate and coffee are some of our favorite approaches.
Our longtime partners at Bittercube steep a full pound of ground Royal Cinnamon for each gallon of rye whiskey and neutral spirit. The resulting extract is smooth and intense, with no grainy cinnamon particles for easy integration into cocktails, puddings and oatmeal. Robust rye harmonizes perfectly with the cinnamon for an extract that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
We wanted to make our rare heirloom Vietnamese cinnamon as versatile to use as possible. If you need clear, evenly dispersed cinnamon flavor in candies, drinks or frozen treats, this extract is for you! It contains zero stabilizers, concentrates or preservatives. Just the best cinnamon in a pure, stirrable form.

Sourcing
Our Royal Cinnamon comes from the mountains of Quang Nam in central Vietnam. This area was historically famous for spicy-sweet cinnamon, but in the last decade, the commodity market has shifted farther north, where prices are lower. Everyone told us that this area wasn't worth visiting and that their heirloom cinnamon variety wasn’t being harvested anymore. We were happy to discover that's not the case. The cinnamon here IS being harvested, and it’s incredible — probably the most intense we’ve ever tasted.
Farmers use a technique for harvesting cinnamon that we've never encountered before. Instead of chopping down the tree to harvest the bark, they make a deep cut around the base of the tree and let the bark dry on the tree for a couple of weeks before harvesting it. That makes it easier to harvest, but it also concentrates essential oils rather than letting them evaporate as the bark dries in the hot sun. The bark comes off the tree mostly dry and intensely spicy and sweet, with a beautiful fragrance that we could smell from half a mile away.
