Notes

Recipe Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. 
Recipe from The Complete Middle Eastern Cookbook by Tess Mallos.
  • Water: I add hot water to the pot so that it comes to a boil faster.
  • Cinnamon Sticks: See below for more info. 
  • Sweetener: The sweetener is not a necessity, but you can add it to your individual cup if you’d like to. Granulated white sugar or local honey are two great options. 
  • The more cinnamon sticks you use, the stronger your tea will be. I found what I prefer to be a good ratio, but you can always add more or less depending on your preference! 
  • This recipe is great at soothing a sore throat! 
  • Do not use ground cinnamon to try making this recipe. 
  • For even more flavor, break up the cinnamon sticks into pieces before steeping.
