Cinnamon Tea
Cinnamon tea is a warm beverage made by infusing tea leaves with cinnamon sticks, creating a fragrant and slightly spicy drink. The final appearance includes a clear, amber-colored liquid with visible cinnamon pieces, offering a comforting and aromatic experience.
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Tea strainer or infuser
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 stick cinnamon preferably a whole stick for aroma
- 2 bags black tea or your preferred tea leaves
Instructions
- Pour water into a saucepan and add the cinnamon stick. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the cinnamon to release its aroma for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add tea bags to the hot water. Cover and steep for 5 minutes until the tea is fragrant and infused with cinnamon.
- Carefully remove the tea bags and cinnamon stick, squeezing out any remaining flavor from the tea bags into the liquid.
- Pour the aromatic cinnamon tea through a strainer into cups, ensuring any loose spices or residue are caught.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for presentation, if desired.
Notes
Adjust steeping time for stronger or milder flavor. You can sweeten the tea with honey or add a splash of milk if preferred.
