Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a different flavor profile, try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• Avoid using pre-ground cinnamon for the best flavor; grinding your own cinnamon sticks can make a significant difference.
• Cinnamon sugar is perfect for topping oatmeal, yogurt, or even coffee drinks.
Food Safety:
• Ensure the cinnamon and sugar are stored in a dry place to prevent clumping or spoilage.
• Use clean utensils when handling to avoid contamination.
