Cinnamon Tea is a warm, aromatic beverage that’s both comforting and beneficial for health. It’s simple to make and perfect for chilly evenings or as a soothing drink any time of day.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 4 cinnamon sticks (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- Optional: 2 cloves or a small piece of fresh ginger for added spice
- Optional: Slices of lemon or orange for serving
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the cinnamon sticks (or ground cinnamon). If you’re using cloves or ginger, add them at this stage.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the cinnamon flavor will be.
- Remove from heat and strain the tea into a teapot or directly into cups, if using ground cinnamon and spices. Discard the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger.
- Stir in the honey until it dissolves completely. Adjust the amount of honey to your taste.
- If desired, add a slice of lemon or orange to each cup for a citrusy twist.
- Serve the cinnamon tea hot.
