Basil that smells like cinnamon. Cinnamon is a basil variety with a completely different aromatic profile from classic basil - instead of the sweet, peppery aroma of typical Genovese basil, it offers a distinct cinnamon scent with notes of clove. It originates from Thai cuisine and is excellent for teas, desserts, and anywhere ordinary basil would be too “Italian”.
Cinnamon is a basil with dark green leaves, slightly tinged with purple, and distinctive lilac-purple flower heads (the flowers are decorative and edible). When fully developed, it forms a robust, bushy plant 30–40 cm tall. Its cinnamon aroma is released intensely when the leaf is gently rubbed - more strongly than in classic Genovese basil.
Sowing (early April, under cover): sow the seeds in trays at a temperature of 20–25°C. Germination takes 7–14 days.
Pricking out: after the first true leaves appear, transplant the seedlings into separate pots.
Planting out (second half of May): after the risk of frost has passed, plant in the ground, pots, or balcony boxes in rows 30 cm apart.
Care: as with other basils - moderate, regular watering and regular pinching of the growing tips to encourage the plant to become bushier.
Excellent for herbal teas (fresh leaves brewed with a slice of lemon), desserts (added to crumble, fruit sorbets, and compotes), and Thai cuisine (curry, spring rolls, pad thai). Its exotic aroma also works well in syrups and liqueurs. The leaves are edible and decorative - they look great as a garnish.
Cinnamon is best added at the end of cooking or to raw dishes - its cinnamon aroma comes from delicate, volatile compounds that dissipate during prolonged cooking. Fresh leaves added to hot tea just before serving will give you the distinctive experience of cinnamon and basil in a single sip.
