Tips & Tricks

• Maximize the Glow: Only tonic water with quinine will create the glowing effect under a UV light.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Reheating: Warm up cinnamon rolls in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
• Flavor Variations: Try adding a cream cheese base to the frosting or swapping in pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.

FAQ

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, bring it to room temperature before baking.

Do I need a blacklight for the glow effect?

Yes, the glow-in-the-dark effect only works under a UV or blacklight. Without one, the tonic water won’t visibly glow.

Can I use any other liquid to make the frosting glow?

Tonic water with quinine is the best option, but some vitamin B2-rich liquids may also glow under UV light.

What pairs well with these cinnamon rolls?

Serve these rolls with a glow-in-the-dark lemonade (made with tonic water and lemon juice) or a hot spiced chai latte for a cozy pairing.
