A stick is a rolled quill of dried cinnamon bark with a firm, woody tube. It smells warm and sweet and releases flavor slowly when heated in liquid. Cooks use it to mull wine and cider, infuse syrups and dairy, and scent rice, stews, and desserts; it is sold whole in various lengths.
Cinnamon quills trace to Sri Lanka for Cinnamomum verum, while cassia types dominate China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The spice moved along Indian Ocean and Silk Road trade routes and remains central in South Asian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and European cuisines.
