The Process Involved When Making 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.

The first step is to pour the required amount of cinnamon into a container. In this case, two ounces is enough. The container should be airtight. It should also have a lid that fits properly. Make sure that the jar is not too large so that the cinnamon covers the bottom completely.

The next face involves putting the carefully shopped sticks inside the container. The number of sticks should be sufficient enough to absorb all the cinnamon. Failure to do this could lower the quality of sticks since some might be clogged with too much cinnamon.

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.

Since they are not used all at once, you should store them in airtight containers. This is to prevent them from losing the flavor. If they are being packed for sale, use airtight containers too. If there was any cinnamon that remained in the first container, you should keep it in an airtight container to be used for the next round.
