I do that with vanilla, too. And most of the sweet spices, though I'm a little more careful with cloves and ginger.

I love cinnamon, too! But be careful when using a lot in fruit desserts...sometimes it gives your filling a snot-like consistency.

I always double or even triple vanilla, but yeah, too much cinnamon can screw up the consistency of a dish. That said, I think cinnamon has some healthy compounds in it, so ... more cinnamon!

So what is the point if she didn't even talk about the results?

I like the video concept, but what is the tip?

Cinnamon is the best spice EVAR. It's not only good for eating, it's good for making your house smell heavenly. I have a teapot just for simmering a mixture of water, apple slices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. I'd wear cinnamon perfume if it existed! I'm sure Cinnamon Sugar Essence would drive men wild.
