Use 120 g per US cup as the reference when converting cinnamon from cups to grams.

Methodology
Cinnamon: cups to grams evidence
Cinnamon is a warm, aromatic spice derived from the inner bark of trees, valued for its sweet-spicy aroma and woody heat.
Practical use: Cinnamon is used as a spice modifier to add warmth, sweetness perception, and aromatic depth. It is commonly infused, muddled, or used as a garnish to reinforce spice-driven profiles and is especially effective in cold-weather, spirit-forward, and heated preparations.
Ingredient characteristics: Cinnamon delivers a warming spice profile defined by sweet aromatic heat, woody undertones, and gentle bitterness. Its flavor is bold yet rounded, contributing warmth, perceived sweetness, and aromatic lift rather than acidity or freshness. Even in small quantities, cinnamon has a strong structural impact on aroma and finish.
