    Spices lose their flavor over time. Yours are too old; throw them out and replace them.

    Or at least start using a fuck-ton more than the recipe calls for until you use up the old stuff.

      You’re missing the point. Copying what I wrote above:

      I just mean because cinnamon (the spice) is the bark of the cinnamon tree, which when ground up is a form of sawdust. Delicious sawdust, but sawdust, nonetheless.
