What is Cinnamon Turkish delight?
Cinnamon Turkish delight is a traditional Turkish confection made by cooking sugar and starch with water until the mixture sets, then flavouring it with cinnamon. It is cut into small pieces and may be soft and yielding or a little firmer, depending on how it is made.
Its texture is chewy and its sweetness pronounced, with cinnamon adding a warm, fragrant note. In Turkey, it is commonly offered with coffee, served to guests or enjoyed on festive occasions; elsewhere, it pairs just as naturally with tea or coffee. It is mostly carbohydrate, with very little protein or fat, so a small piece makes a fitting sweet bite alongside an unsweetened drink.
