A cup of warm cinnamon tea with cinnamon sticks and honey

Ingredients

Fresh cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, honey and lemon
  • Cinnamon Stick
    Cinnamomum verum
    1 stick
    Or 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • Water
    1 cup
  • Honey
    1 teaspoon
    Optional, for flavor
  • Lemon
    0.25 piece
    Optional, for flavor

Instructions

1

Boil the Water

Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil.

2

Add Cinnamon

If you're using a cinnamon stick, break it into a few smaller pieces and add it to the boiling water. If you're using ground cinnamon, you can add it directly to the water.

3

Simmer

Reduce the heat to low and let the cinnamon simmer in the water for about 10-15 minutes. This will help infuse the flavor of cinnamon into the water.

4

Strain

After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and strain the tea to remove any cinnamon pieces or ground cinnamon.

5

Serve

Pour the cinnamon tea into a cup. If desired, add a teaspoon of raw honey or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

Notes

While cinnamon can be beneficial, excessive consumption may have adverse effects. Cinnamon contains a chemical called coumarin. Eating too much can cause liver damage, cancer, low blood sugar, or breathing problems.

Dosage

Adults shouldn't have more than one teaspoon of cinnamon per day.
