Ingredients
-
1.5 cups water
-
One Cinnamon Stick
Instructions
-
Place water into pot or glass kettle
-
Add Cinnamon Stick
-
Cinnamon sticks should be slow boiled to extract the best flavor. Bring the water to a slow boil in a small pot or stove top kettle. To do this, set the heat setting to medium low so it boils slowly. This usually takes about 15-25 minutes.
-
The Cinnamon is actually released from the stick as it cools. When the water starts bubbling remove from heat and let it cool for 15 minutes
-
As the water cools you will see the the Cinnamon will start to release from the Cinnamon stick and the water will change to a deep redish brown.
-
Strain the tea through a fine strainer into a cup.
-
You may have to reheat the tea before serving and feel free to add a Cinnamon stick for "the look". Sip and feel good!
