</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1 cup quinoa</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1-2 tbsp olive oil </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3 cups chopped vegetables</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1-2 tsp cumin seeds</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">½ tsp chilli flakes
(optional)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1 tsp biryani masala
(optional)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Salt to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Chopped coriander for
garnishing</span></li>
</ul>
<b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Method</span></b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Wash
the quinoa well in a strainer and place in a pan with 2 cups of water.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Add
a teaspoon of salt and bring the water to a boil on high heat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Once
the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and cover and cook for about 12-15
minutes or till the water has evaporated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Switch
off the heat and leave covered.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Heat
oil in a pan, tip in the cumin seeds and allow to sizzle for a minute.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Add
the chopped vegetables. Use whatever vegetables you like. I have used
white onions, carrots, beans and bell pepper for this dish.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sauté
the vegetables for a couple of minutes. Do not overcook the vegetables.
Allow them to retain their crunch.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">You
can add the chilli flakes for an added dash of spice.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Slide
in the cooked quinoa and mix well for 2 minutes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Check
for salt and add more if required.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Your
quinoa pulao is ready to be eaten straight away.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">If
you want to make this dish extra special, try adding 1 teaspoon biryani masala.
However, this is totally optional.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Garnish
with coriander and serve as an accompaniment with your favourite curry.</span></li>

sometimes for variation in flavour. The pulao is pretty tasty without it as

flavoursome and full of nutrition. Easy on the stomach and supremely easy to
cook as well. In India, this dish is typically made with rice and lentils. I
have substituted the rice for a mix of quinoa and bulgur wheat to make for a
healthier version. </span></i></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

a big pot because it is perfect for those cozy nights and if it’s winter then
it will warm you up. The best part is, that this dish is a full meal in itself.
You don’t need any bread/roti/pasta to go with it. Take it to your next pot
luck and you will know you have a crowd pleaser!<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

optional. If you prefer a milder flavour, then skip it. For a more intense
flavour, add the chicken masala. The brand I used is Shaan Chicken Masala.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

savoury cake with a soft, porous texture, made from a yeast mixture cooked on a
griddle and eaten toasted and buttered. Crumpets are popularly eaten at the
breakfast table in England. I buy my crumpets from M&S. Serving lamb
mince on toasted crumpets makes for an excellent starter or a beautiful side.
The porous crumpet absorbs the juices in the dish and makes each bite
scrumptious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

cabbage is commonly used in salads, but few people know that it also makes for
a wonderful side dish. This is a simple yet delicious recipe. I have used freshly
ground coconut in the recipe although you can swap it for desiccated coconut if
you prefer.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

might look like meat but don’t be fooled. If you haven’t eaten jackfruit yet,
your life is going to change once you do. Often referred to as the ‘vegetarian
chicken’ this stringy fruit (yes its actually a fruit) is the food that vegans dream
of! It’s a healthy vegan meat replacement and it’s fast becoming one of the
biggest food trends among vegetarians, vegans, and even adventurous meat
lovers. Best of all, it's the key to making a large variety of dishes ranging
from barbecued stuff to burgers to Indian curries as it pairs well with almost all spices.
Here’s just one of the many ways I cook jackfruit. Go on, add it to your
grocery list for next time. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b><br />

<span lang="EN-IN">Fresh jackfruit is not available in the
region where I stay. That is why I use the tinned variety. Make sure to buy
jackfruit in water and not in brine. The one in brine turns out rather sour
after getting cooked.

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.3333px;">The presence of greenery provides a relaxed atmosphere and creates a warm and inviting space. Plants and flowers play a major role in beautifying any given area, and artificial plants and trees have completely revamped the outdoor and indoor landscaping market. They lend a very classy and hassle-free touch to any decor. They are very appealing when incorporated in decorating both residential and commercial spaces. As the artificial foliage is made of silk, it looks very similar to natural tree foliage and has the additional advantage of being weather resistant and maintenance free. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #101010; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.3333px;">Another bonus of silk plants is that they will save you money – there is no feeding, repotting or treating for disease, so you can sit back and admire the instant effect. There’s no denying that lots of greenery makes us feel better, so this is a trend that will be here to stay. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.3333px;">These silk plants allow you to let nature in, without really having to do so!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Create a hedge maze outside your home or office, or even miniature versions inside, to keep people engaged and stimulated. Apart from adding a very fresh and different look to the exteriors of the area, it will also serve the purpose of being an attraction and a place for recreation.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Use different artificial plants and trees in different sections of your work or home space to create small theme sections. For example, palm trees can turn any given area into a tropical paradise within seconds! Install palm trees of varying lengths in the desired sections of the room to give it the look of a tropical oasis. Hammocks and some books by the side will complete the look and also transform the area into a unique and desirable space.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The best way to achieve this would be by creating small terrarium museums and displaying varieties of artificial plants and flowers in them. These terrariums are miniature gardens that can beautify any section of a room effortlessly. Use combinations of plants, trees, and flowers creatively to make them depict something exciting or follow a particular theme that you may like such as floral or coastal.</span></div>

Different types of flowers can be arranged on work tables or dining tables to give the look and feel of spring even when indoors. These flowers do not attract insects or wither and make it easy for you to live with nature.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This can be a fascinating experience to have while working in a closed environment. Different varieties of artificial plants could be arranged in a pattern, and this could be covered by a glass top. These table-like structures could then be used as workbenches for an exhilarating experience. The feeling of working on a tree top and the constant view of plants can also help de-stress as well activate one’s energy.</span></div>

from tapioca starch and is sold as tiny “pearls.” The chewy texture and starchy

<li>2 medium sized potatoes, boiled</li>

<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Soak the sago overnight or for 5-8 hours in
water. Do not add excess water while soaking. Add only enough water to just about cover
the sago.</li>
<li>Cut the boiled potatoes into bite sized chunks.</li>
<li>Coarsely grind the roasted peanuts.</li>
<li>Heat a pan and add the olive oil. When the
oil warms up, add the cumin seeds and allow to splutter for a minute or two.</li>
<li>Add the ginger, green chillies and chopped
potato chunks. Sauté on medium heat.</li>
<li>Mix the coarsely ground peanuts to the
potatoes and continue sautéing till the potatoes brown slightly. Add about a
teaspoon of salt and the turmeric.</li>
<li>While the potatoes brown, gently drain any
remaining water from the sago. You might find a white sediment in the bowl in which
you soaked the sago. Carefully, place the sago in another dish and rinse out
the white sediment. The white sediment
is the starch that comes out of the sago.</li>
<li>Now add the sago to the pan, mix everything
well and cook until the sago pearls are a bit translucent and well coated. Do not add any extra water. </li>
<li>If you like spice, add chilli powder and
check for salt. Add more if required.</li>
<li>Cook and cover for 4-5 minutes on low heat.
Once your sago pearls are uniformly translucent, your dish is ready.</li>
<li>Squeeze in some lemon juice and garnish
with lots of freshly chopped coriander.</li>
<li>Dig in!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-IN">Tempering lentils is a joy and you can really
play with different flavours here. Feel free to try chopped onions, curry
leaves, mustard seeds in the tempering and see if you like that! The version I
have provided above is one of the simplest ones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Also, if you don’t have both the lentils,
feel free to just use ½ a cup of the type you have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">If you like the consistency of your lentil
curry thinner, you can add more water to it while simmering. Boil for a few
extra minutes at the end to ensure that the raw taste of water goes away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">While in London, you often find people
picking their nicely chopped mangoes with fruit forks, in India, this doesn’t
really qualify as ‘enjoying’ the fruit. Indians believe that the most
fulfilling way to enjoy a mango, is just to dive right into it. Peel it and
bite in with your bare hands. Trust me, you have to try this at least once in
your lifetime. You can thank me later!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">India is the largest producer of mangoes in
the world and boasts of some 1000 varieties. I bet it could take a lifetime to
try all! But, rave about how much you love mangoes to any Indian and they’ll
respond with, “yes, but have you tried the alphonso?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">The alphonso belongs to the Konkan Coast in
Maharashtra. Loyalists swear by its rich creaminess. The flesh is
saffron-colored and without a hint of fibre. The taste is perfectly sweet to
induce cravings for more. It is believed that this variety of mango is named
after Afonso de Albuquerque, a Portuguese general and military expert who
helped establish Portuguese colonies in India. The Portuguese introduced
grafting on mango trees to produce extraordinary varieties like Alphonso.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Aptly called the ‘king of mangoes’ for its
exquisite taste and premium pricing, the alphonso makes for a perfect summer
gift in India. Dozens of online providers, offer alphonso mango gifting
services in the season both within India and to destinations across the globe.
What an absolute treat for a mango connoisseur to receive!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li>A mango lassi is ideally a thick smooth

<ul>
<li>Bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
Add the brussels sprouts and cook for 4-5 mins until just tender, then drain
and leave to cool a little before slicing in half vertically.</li>
<li>In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil.
Add the garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. Now add the chilli flakes and
about ¼ teaspoon of salt to the oil.</li>
<li>Put your brussel sprouts in and leave them
to cook for around 8-10 minutes. We want to make them charred so don’t worry if
you see them turning blackish brown. That’s what we want!</li>
<li>You will need to flip them over with a pair
of tongs to ensure they brown on both sides. Sprinkle some more salt and lemon
juice.</li>
<li>Serve hot and garnish with the burnt garlic
left in the pan.</li>
<li>Yummy!</li>

<b><i><span lang="EN-IN">Colocasia roots,
taro, sataimo or arbi is a simple humble root vegetable. The plant is also
commonly known as “elephant ears”, due to the shape of the broad leaves. It is
grown for both its leaves and roots. Colocasia roots are eaten all over East
and South Asia, so you can find them at Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and South
Asian groceries. This simple pan fried colocasia dish is a crispy delight. Colocasia
absorbs Indian spices very well and you will end up asking for another helping!</span></i></b></div>

<ol>
<li>Put the colocasia roots into a pressure
cooker and add the minimum level of water required.</li>
<li>Pressure cook for 6-7 minutes. Remove from
heat and allow the pressure to drop. Remember that we don’t want to fully cook
the vegetable as it can get mushy.</li>
<li>Take them out, allow to cool and peel the
skin gently.</li>
<li>Cut into halves and keep aside.</li>
<li>Heat oil in a grill pan and add the carom
seeds. Allow to splutter for half a minute and then add the colocasia pieces to
it. </li>
<li>Sprinkle chilli powder and about 1 teaspoon
salt all over the pieces.</li>
<li>Cover and cook for 5 minutes on low to
medium heat.</li>
<li>After 5 minutes, uncover and add the
remaining spices, coriander powder and mango powder.</li>
<li>Flip over the pieces, cover and cook on the
other side for another 5 minutes.</li>
<li>After 10 minutes of covered cooking, brown
the colocasia for another 10 minutes on medium heat. Keep it uncovered for the
last 10 minutes allowing it to get nice and crispy.</li>
<li>Make sure you keep turning them over gently
to allow the spices to get well absorbed on both sides.</li>
<li>By now a nice brown coating should have
formed on both sides.</li>
<li>It should be finger licking good! Serve
hot.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most hearty meals needs something zingy and spicy to go with
them. I don’t know about you but I for sure need my chutneys and pickles to add
that kick to every bite. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pickle making is an ancient tradition in India which has
been carried over generations. When I was a kid, it was a common sight in India
to find big glass jars filled with freshly made pickles basking on a sunny
window sill or the roof top. I love this sun cured flavour the most. It really
does develop the flavour of the fruits and vegetables used. Spicy green chilli
pickles, mango pickles tossed with fenugreek and mustard seeds, bright yellow
cauliflower pickles – you name it! Yummm. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the years, however, the art of pickle making at home is
gradually fading with mass produced varieties readily available in the stores
these days. But, they miserably fail to match up to the rustic flavours
characteristic of home-made pickles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, if like me, you live in a country where the sun is a
luxury, you will soon starting discovering alternatives. So, when I moved to
London, I quickly discovered fermented pickles and instantly fell in love with
those too. The Middle Eastern shops are full of them and I am one of those who
always ends up asking for more of those fermented chillies with my kebabs. <o:p></o:p></div>

There are many different ratios and flavourings used for
quick pickles. Try all kinds of vegetables; combine them in one jar or separate
ones. Here’s one such recipe for a delicious, crunchy and tangy pickle. <o:p></o:p></div>

<li>Now pour the vinegar in till it fills about ¼ of the jar.</li>
<li>Fill the remaining ¾ space with the boiled water.</li>
<li>Add salt to taste. I added a little less than 1 teaspoon.</li>
<li>If you want it to be a little sweet, then add the sugar. I did
not add any sugar to this one.</li>
<li>Shake the jar and close the lid. </li>
<li>Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5-7 days.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Chai” is the Hindi word for “tea” and is ubiquitous in
India. Chai is served on every street corner and on crowded train stations at
all times of the day or night. In fact, many Indians associate rail travel with
the cries of "chai, chai," from tea sellers carrying kettles along
trains and platforms.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, it’s not exactly a secret that Indians love their chai,
sweet, spicy, and piping hot! What
you see in the pic below is an earthen cup (called a Kullhar) that is often
used to serve chai in local shops in India. These cups have their own essence
and smell which increases the value of the beverage one drinks in it. You will
never find the same kind of chai flavor anywhere else in the world! When travelling through India, this is one treat that
remains a constant...the various types of chai and their styles of
preparation, characteristic to each region that one visits.</span></div>

Needless to say, I am a major tea addict and would like to
thank my husband today for pampering me with my daily morning and night dose of
a steaming cuppa chai. He should probably be writing this blogpost and not me! Yes, I do drink chai before going to bed every day. I do
not recommend that you do this, but I definitely....can’t do without it.</div>

In this post I will teach you how to make Indian chai in
four different ways. But first and foremost, it is important to that you have
the correct type of tea leaf to make the strong chai that one gets in India.
Our favourite brand of tea leaf for making Indian style chai is ‘Brooke Bond
Red Label Natural Care.’ The flavour of this one is enhanced by the addition of
ashwagandha (Indian ginseng), mulethi (licorice), ginger, cardamom, tulsi (holy
basil), all five are powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brooke Bond Red Label Natural Care is easily available on
Amazon UK, Ebay. However, if you are unable to get this, I suggest using the
plain Brooke Bond Red Label, Brooke Bond Taj Mahal which might be more freely
available at your local Indian grocery store. Now if you live in an area where
there is no Indian grocer closeby, just buy any loose black tea. Tesco and
Sainsbury both stock these for sure through their own brands and others such as
Twinings, PG Tips etc.</div>

The basic ingredients remain the same…water and milk. We
shall keep playing with the flavour by adding something different each time.
Each of these recipes is for one individual cup. My water to milk ratio is
normally ¾ cup water and ¼ cup milk. While most Indian use whole milk, I like
to use semi skimmed milk for my chai. Don't be surprised if I tell you that you also get special chai in India which is made of only milk!</div>

moderate and allow the ginger juices to soak in the milk and tea leaf to turn
the water to a brownish color. After about 3 minutes, turn off the heat and

<i><span lang="EN-IN">In its most traditional sense, Upma is a common savoury
breakfast dish made in many South Indian homes. It can be ruffled up in a jiffy,
almost like a traditional fast food recipe! Upma is made from rava, a wheat
derivative, or cream of wheat. Once cooked, it becomes soft and crumbly. This
is a generic upma recipe I make regularly at home, but you will find plenty of
variations online. Just get comfortable with this one and then start
experimenting. I love this recipe both hot and at room temperature and think it
makes for a delicious lunchbox idea for kids. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<li>Heat a dry pan and add the semolina to it.
Dry roast the semolina on medium flame for 5-6 minutes. Take off the fire and
keep aside.</li>
<li>Next heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds,
green chillies, chana dal and the onions. Sauté for 3 minutes.</li>
<li>Now add the ginger and curry leaves and
continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes till the onions turn pink.</li>
<li>Drop in your frozen peas, 1 teaspoon of
salt and stir for a minute.</li>
<li>Add ½ a cup of water and bring to boil
covered. Once the water starts boiling, slowly add the roasted semolina while stirring gently.</li>
<li>Semolina absorbs water rapidly and the mixture
will start looking dry soon. Add about ¼ cup more water and cover the pan.
Allow to cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.</li>
<li>Turn off the heat now, open the lid and
squeeze in juice of half a lemon. Stir well.</li>
<li>Garnish with coriander leaves and serve
hot.</li>

<span lang="EN-IN">There are various types of flattened/beaten
rice flakes available in the market (thin, medium, thick). I use the medium
one. If you buy the thin one, the rice flakes will end up sticking to each

<b><span lang="EN-IN">Cinnamon Sticks and
Their Wonderful Uses<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Last week I
was participating in a Twitter chat (#veganhour) and the lively conversations
led us to discuss a very interesting topic: the uses of cinnamon sticks. This came
off one of my previous posts <a href="http://cookwithjovi.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/the-5-indian-whole-spices-for-indian.html">The
5 Whole Spices for Indian Cooking Beginners</a> where I had confided that
cinnamon sticks were my favourite spice. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">It seemed
that while ground cinnamon is popular, few cooking enthusiasts were using
cinnamon sticks. This is what prompted me to do this blog post. Here are six great reasons why I keep cinnamon sticks handy in my spice rack, and why you
should too!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">With autumn
setting in, now is the perfect time to consider stocking up and using this sweet-smelling
spice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Spice up your chai/tea<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Boil a cup
of water with a cinnamon stick in it. Add tea leaves or a tea bag and allow it
to brew. You can add milk if you like. Enjoy a perfect cup of cinnamon brew. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Make mulled wine at home<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Heat a
bottle of red wine with cinnamon sticks, bayleaf, sugar, ground ginger and a
few slices of orange. Allow to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Serve in wine
glasses and enjoy on a chilly night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Make cinnamon flavoured rice<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Boil one
cup basmati rice in 2 cups water. Add 1 stick of cinnamon, ½ a cup of peas and ¼
tsp salt. Allow to cook on medium heat till the rice is done. Serve with your favourite
curry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Enjoy cinnamon milk<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Heat a cup
of milk with half a cinnamon stick and a pinch of turmeric. Allow the subtle
flavours to get absorbed in the milk for atleast 5-6 minutes. Add a teaspoon of
honey or enjoy it plain. The aroma and sweetness of cinnamon lends a wonderful
flavour to the milk. Kids will love this too and is particularly healthy.
Remove the stick before serving. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Keep a jar of cinnamon syrup handy<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Boil water,
sugar, and a couple of cinnamon sticks on medium heat. Whisk well till the
sugar is dissolved. Pour into a jar, cool, and keep handy. Cinnamon syrup can
be poured over pancakes, baked apples, cake etc whenever required. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-IN">Upgrade a simple vanilla candle with a cinnamon
stick DIY<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Tie a
rubber band/elastic around the waist of your candle. Not place your cinnamon
sticks all around the candle. The elastic will hold all the sticks in place. When
the vanilla candle is lit, it will slowly warm up the cinnamon sticks and fill
your room with the sweet scent of vanilla and spices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Ah….just
writing this is prompting me to go and make some cinnamon tea for myself. I
hope this is useful for all those planning to enjoy this ever-popular spice. Just
make sure to buy actual cinnamon sticks and not cassia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></div>
Waitrose,
East End, Schwartz, Bart and The Vital Ingredient are some brands in UK selling
cinnamon sticks. These are easily available at Ocado, Waitrose, Holland and
Barrett and at many local grocery stores. </div>
