Make it Work with Cinnamon

Today's Make it Work is with Cinnamon! We all know and love cinnamon used in baking. Did you know that there are quite a few other ways to use this little gem of a spice? You can also use Cinnamon to:

Repel Ants
Sprinkle powdered Cinnamon around entry points for ants and they'll be less likely to enter your home!

Kill Mosquitos
Add powdered Cinnamon to water and mix in a spray bottle. Spritz on Mosquitos and watch them vanish!

Freshen Rooms
Boil Cinnamon in water, Add to potpourri, or Mix with water to spray around Rooms for an instant Air Freshner! You can also glue cinnamon sticks to candle jars and the warmth will spread the cinnamon scent throughout the room!

Moth Free Closets
Mix broken Cinnamon sticks with Cloves and Black Peppercorn. Fill any satchel, tie shut & hang in your closet for a yummy smelling Moth Repellant!

Mouthwash
Mix Vodka and powdered Cinnamon, allow it to set for 2 weeks and you've got a home made mouthwash!

  1. I also love cinnamon as a blood sugar stabilizer. :) Sprinkle it on everything, put it in your tea, or take two capsules once a day.
