Historical Background

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is a small tree native to southern India & Sri Lanka. The bark of the cinnamon tree is used as a spice. Cinnamon is used to flavor cereals and pastries (e.g. cinnamon buns). It has been used since antiquity by ancient Rome, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and ancient China. Cassia has a similar flavor to cinnamon, but is considered a "cheaper" version of cinnamon.

Cinnamon was one of the spices which inspired the Age of Exploration and the beginnings of European colonization of other continents. Previously, cinnamon only arrived in Europe from Arab traders who stopped in Egypt. This trade network was disrupted by the Ottoman Empire and Mameluk Dynasty of Egypt. Portugal got to Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) and monopolized cinnamon for one century. The Netherlands then controlled it, later the British.

In folklore, the Phoenix would make its nest out of cinnamon twigs.

Custard is a dessert made from a thickened mixture of milk (or cream), egg yolks, sugar, and additional flavorings. Its consistency varies from a thin sauce to a thick gelatin depending on how much egg or thickener is used. The ingredients are mixed together and then prepared by using heat (gently). Custard consumed across Europe and their former colonies. Flan uses custard as an ingredient.

Cinnamon Custard would be a custard dessert flavored with cinnamon.
