When the inner bark of a cinnamon tree is dried you can use it in all sorts of things to help with colds, flu, wind, coughs, vomiting, cramp, diarrhoea, indigestion and dysentery.
Cinnamon is used in teas, sweets, pastes and ciders and also to spice meals, such as curries. It has a delicious sweet and spicy taste. Just like with the liquorice sticks, a cinnamon stick is delicious to chew on.

Cool! I’ll probably be able to try it then
