How to Dry Ceylon Cinnamon

1. Harvesting: Cut young branches (2–3 years old) and remove the outer bark.
2. Peeling: Scrape off the thin inner bark carefully.
3. Drying: Spread the bark strips in a warm, shaded, and well-ventilated area. They will curl naturally into cinnamon sticks as they dry (usually 4–7 days).
4. Storage: Store dried sticks in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place.
