Place cinnamon sticks in an old towel and crush with a mallet. Place in a bowl and add remaining ingredients; mix well.
To make bags, place one tablespoon of mix in a double thickness of cheesecloth squares and tie corners together with string. Place in jars. I don't like to make bags myself, so I use purchased ready made muslin bags with drawstrings.
To use: simmer one bag in a small saucepan of water to spread scent throughout house. You can also simmer one bag in one quart of cider, apple juice or red wine for a delicious spiced drink. Makes 7 half-pints-be sure to attach instructions to jar if given as a gift.
