How to make fresh ground cinnamon & clove

Use the softer canela instead of the hard, round stick cinnamon. Canela is available at many Hispanic markets

A low cost coffee grinder is perfect for making the small amounts needed for many recipes

Add a few cloves

Break canela into smaller pieces and add to cloves

Grind

Grind even finer

When completely and finely ground, turn over onto wax paper. Use quantity needed. Wrap remainder in the wax paper and store in the coffee grinder. To preserve spices, always store in a dark space.
