Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches long, preferably Ceylon)
- Optional: Creamer of choice
- Optional: Sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water and a 3-inch cinnamon stick.
- Simmer: Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to a hearty simmer over medium heat.
- Gently simmer: Reduce the heat to low, keep the pan covered, and gently simmer for 10 minutes to extract full cinnamon flavor.
- Steep: Remove the saucepan from heat but keep the cinnamon stick in the water. Let it steep, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- Strain and serve: Pour the mixture through a mesh strainer into your mug, removing the cinnamon stick. Add creamer or sweetener if desired. Enjoy warm, or chill for up to 4 days and serve cold or reheated.
Notes
- Use Ceylon cinnamon if possible for a milder, sweeter flavor and lower coumarin levels.
- Adjust steeping time for a stronger or milder cinnamon taste.
- The tea can be reordered with sweetener like honey or maple syrup, or creamers such as milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Store chilled tea in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently to preserve flavor or enjoy over ice for a refreshing cold tea.
