Cinnamon has been used as a flavoring agent and medicinal for centuries, especially in Asia. The presence of coumarin, however, can be problematic in high doses or in certain individuals with a history of liver disease. Cinnamomum cassia, otherwise known as Chinese cinnamon, contains less volatile oil and therefore less coumarin than other varieties but has a sweeter flavor. Decorative - Add to potpourri displays and use in floral crafts. Culinary - Add to mulled wine or infuse in alcoholic spirits. Use as a stirrer for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Household - Place a few of these small sticks at the base of garden plants to help deter pests. Aromatic - Toss into simmering potpourri. Industrial - Cinnamon is a food additive and is used in the cosmetic and perfume industries. For Cooking: Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of the trunk of the tropical cinnamon tree. As the harvested bark dries, it curls up into quills or sticks. Hand-selected McCormick Cinnamon Sticks add sweet warmth and spicy aroma to hot beverages, curries & slow-cooked stews. The slightly spicy and comforting aroma of cinnamon reminds us of winter holidays and family gatherings. To add warmth to festive beverages, use a stick as a stirrer for coffee & hot cocoa or simmer it in apple cider or mulled red wine. Cinnamon sticks infuse slow-cooked stews, braised short ribs, Indian curries and Vietnamese pho noodle soup with rich fragrance and flavor. Place a stick in the pot to add sweetness when poaching fruit or cooking applesauce, rice pudding or oatmeal. Spiritual: Cinnamon oil was used as part of a mixture for a holy anointing oil by the ancient Hebrews. The leaves of the Cinnamon tree were woven into wreaths which were used to decorate ancient Roman temples. The Egyptians used Cinnamon oil as part of the Mummification process. Cinnamon, when burned as an incense, raises high spiritual vibrations, aid in healing, draws money, stimulates psychic powers and produces protective vibrations. Cinnamon is also used in making sachets and infusions for these purposes.

Disclosure: I was sent these books to review free of charge in exchange for an honest review. All opinions in this post are my own. I did not receive any other compensation for this review. Now a series of Tea Parties Around the World would not be complete without looking at Chinese tea. Let's face it, the China is where tea began. January seemed like the perfect time for us to look at China since we were looking at the Chinese New Year already. I will admit writing this post has been intimidating me and I keep putting it off. How can I do the long history of tea in China justice? I have decided just to share with you my references and what we enjoyed as we looked at China and the history of tea. For general tea references we have ones we have shared previously like The Art and Craft of Tea and Tea: The Drink that Changed the World. Both of which have much information on tea in China. We also took a look at two books about Chinese tea. The first is Chinese Tea by Ling Yun. This book provides history, technique and more about tea in China. It has artwork as well as photographs of the tea regions, tea vessels over the centuries and more. It also provides information about preparing the perfect cup of tea changed with the various dynasties in China as well as tea drinking itself. This book is for adults. Hazel and I began to read it together but she did get bored and find it a bit confusing. However this small book is packed full of information including health benefits of tea. It is the perfect book to see the history of tea and its uses in China. It also goes through the various types of tea and the most popular in China. It amazes me how many varieties there are from the same plant depending on how it is picked, when it is picked and how it is prepared. Our second book is The Ancient Art of Tea by Warren Peltier. In this book Peltier takes all the wisdom from ancient Chinese texts and tries to condense them into one small book. It presents the history of tea and its changes but more so how to make the perfect cup and how that has changed. It talks about the art of tea, the water used for tea, the fire to heat the water, the taste of tea, the etiquette of tea and refinements in tea. It goes through the ancient texts and pulls the various important points and combines them into one resource (and translates them). This book shares the Chinese tea masters with the average tea drinker. Come explore how to make the perfect cup! Now the purpose of our tea parties is for Hazel to learn about the different countries and cultures of the world. My favorite reference book on China is All About China. (Tuttle Publishing's All About series is a must for every school that studies Asian countries and homeschools.) We have reviewed a Chinese cookbook and books about Chinese festivals. We have also looked at many Chinese stories and shared them here as well (history lessons, Mulan, Chinese fables and stories, and many more) . A book to see some more culture and relate it to our American one is Chinese and English Nursery Rhymes by Faye-Lynn Wu and illustrated by Kieren Dutcher. This book pairs English nursery rhymes with similar ones in Chinese (and English) to see how the cultures are similar and different. There are small Do you know boxes throughout the book with interesting facts about the Chinese culture. The book also comes with a CD. It is a fun way to introduce children to the Chinese culture and is definitely worth a look. We also always get books and DVDs out of the library. Above are some of the ones we really enjoyed and found useful to learn a bit more about China. Hazel loves the Magic Tree House series so she read these on her own. Recipe and Craft Guide to China was extremely useful for our tea party. We used the recipe in it for almond cookies, which we loved!! We also enjoyed this book from the library. We used it as our guidelines for our tea party. Now I did not know much about Dragon Well Tea. Apparently it grows near a well that has dense water and after a light rain the water in the well has the movements of a Chinese dragon. (Source) It is one of the most popular Chinese teas. In the book Erica is going to her best friend, Nancy's house for the first time. Nancy is Chinese American and Erica does not know what to expect. However Nancy's family welcomes Erica with a treat of almond cookies and dragon well tea and she loves them! Now I went to our local tea shop to look for dragon well tea. They had it, but I liked the smell of the Dragon Pearls tea instead. It had a little jasmine added in so I thought Hazel might like it better. I pulled out my Chinese tea set and made a pot of tea. We tried it with the cookies. Hazel and Steve did not like the tea but I think I let it brew too long for them. I got my tea set in a Chinatown years ago. It is part of my tea pot collection. Hazel loved using the little cups. For even more ideas and posts about China click here. Next month we are taking a look at tea in India. Be sure to check it out!!
