What better way to celebrate cinnamon than a sticky cinnamon bun? We oomph-ed it up with tok dhyarosh (roselle) syrup and coconut cream.
about the spice
Cassia cinnamon is different from true cinnamon. What we have here is a stronger flavoured spice that adds sweetness to savoury dishes and warm savoury notes in sweets. Cassia is processed from the inner bark of the tree which are pulled off into rolls during harvesting. An essential part of Chinese five spice and Indian garam masala, cassia cinnamon truly deserves a special place in your pantry.
