That's a great question. A "nice touch of" simply means a decent amount or certain amount of something. In this case, he is making something and he's telling you that you need a certain amount of cinnamon. By saying a "nice touch" it lets you know that you can kind of judge the quantity based on your own preferences. Ex: I think it just needs a nice touch of paint and it will be done. Ex: Let's add a nice touch of blue.
