# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It tastes noticeably fresher and more fragrant than anything you can buy, and costs practically nothing to make.
- You can customize the spice ratios to match exactly what you love, whether you want bold cinnamon or just a whisper of warmth.
- It transforms everyday toast and oatmeal into something that feels intentional and special.
02 -
- If your spices are old or have been sitting in the back of a cabinet for a year, this blend will taste old too—quality spices make all the difference here.
- Adjust the cinnamon up or down to your taste before you finalize your batch; there's no universal perfect ratio, only what makes you happy.
03 -
- Fresh spices make an enormous difference; if your cinnamon smells like almost nothing, it's time for new spices.
- Whisk for a few extra seconds beyond when you think you're done to ensure the spices distribute evenly throughout the sugar.
