Something you can make with cinnamon stick
Origin
Cinnamon is derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, primarily Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum zeylanicum. These trees are native to Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), and the cinnamon sticks are made by cutting the inner bark into long strips and allowing them to dry. Sri Lanka has been a major producer and exporter of cinnamon for centuries, and it is known for its high-quality cinnamon sticks. Today, cinnamon is also cultivated in other countries including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China.
