Steps In Making Cinnamon Flavored Toothpicks

By Roseann Hudson


Cinnamon is used as a spice due to its healing properties. It is also used because it has a nice fragrance. Cinnamon flavored toothpicks have been used for many years as the demand for them has been growing over the years. They are used to freshen the breath, as a smoking sensation and also removes food particles from teeth. To make a cinnamon toothpick, just a few ingredients are required, and it only takes a night to complete the process.

To make a toothpick of this kind, the following stages must be followed. To begin with cinnamon is placed in an airtight container. The container should neither be too large nor too small for you to get the best results. Simply put, the size of the container used should be dependent on the number of sticks that will be placed inside it. It is however recommended not to flavor so many sticks at one go as this might greatly reduce their quality.

The next step is to put the number of wooden sticks that you want to make toothpicks from. They should be the height of the container so that it can be closed easily. So as to maximize the container, ensure that they completely fill all the spaces that are available. Five hundred would be a good number for a medium sized container.

Once all the sticks are fully arranged into the container, cover it with a lid. Tightly fit the lid and make sure that there is no air that is getting in or out of the container. The reason for this is to ensure that the sticks absorb all the fumes that have the cinnamon flavor. If there is any air getting in or out, it could dilute the flavor that means the sticks will not be properly flavored.

You should allow the container to stand undisturbed throughout the night. You need to place it in a position where children cannot reach it easily. If the container is shaken, the cinnamon could fail to distribute evenly inside the sticks thus lowering the quality of the final products.

Once the twelve hours are over, remove the sticks from the container. You should place them on a place which is nonabsorbent. This is so that it does not such the cinnamon from the sticks. The place should be clean too. Wash your hands properly before handling the sticks so that you do not contaminate them.

You cannot know if they are dry by just looking at them, you will have to feel with your hands. When you are sure that they are completely dry, it means that they are ready to use. They are completely safe and healthy too. Handle them in a clean environment and with clean hands.

You should place these sticks in a clean container that allows little or no air to get inside. This ensures that the sticks do not lose their sweet flavor easily. If the sticks are for commercial purposes, the containers you place them in should even be more airtight and clean. This is also a requirement by public health officials so as to avoid any possible outbreak of mass infections.
