A Festive Gingerbread Star on the Table

A large gingerbread cookie cut in the shape of a star sits gracefully on a surface alongside a filled milk jug and cinnamon. White royal icing lines decorate the baked treat, setting a quiet scene of winter refreshments.

Facts About Winter Spices and Drinks

Cinnamon comes from the dried inner bark of Cinnamomum trees, harvested in rolls that curl into aromatic sticks. Pairing cold milk with sweet spiced cookies is a tradition around the world because dairy balances strong aromatic spices like ginger and cloves. Star shapes in holiday baking traditionally symbolize winter constellations and festive stars.
