thanks. please let me know what you think and if you take pics, please send them to us on instagram @cilantrochronicles

Looks very tempting and can’t wait to try it.
Question about cinnamon sticks- 4, 3inch pieces?

No! So if you were using whole unbroken cinnamon, I’d say 1 is enough! Please let me know how you like it!
