Cinnamon Tea is a warm and soothing drink made with only 3 ingredients. You only need water, cinnamon bark, and some sugar or honey to enjoy this classic drink!
Fill a pot with 3 cups water, drop in 4 cinnamon sticks and place on the stove.
Cover, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes.
Pour into glasses with cinnamon sticks. Serve with sugar or honey if desired.
Enjoy!
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.
