cinnamon tea

I'm going to drink my first glass soon and I was wondering, do you boil the stick in water untilir resolves? Or does the water turn kind of a different color or do you just boil for a few minutes and drink it? What are your cinnamon tea stories. Did it work? How long did it take?

It can start contractions in some women. I've heard a lot of success stories with it, so I'm hoping it works for me. Nothing so far besides cramps.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON STICK TEA

A cup of golden red Cinnamon stick tea makes for a refreshing and healthy drink without any of the caffeine. Ceylon Cinnamon stick tea is naturally sweet with zero sugar. It has an unusually pleasant flavor with a robust full body taste without any bitterness or astringency. And one of the highlights of this Ceylon Cinnamon stick tea is the wonderful aroma with hints of citrus.

They say the smell of Cinnamon boosts your alertness, memory and concentration. We think so. And those with arthritis will find this fabulous Cinnamon stick tea is perfect for your aching bones and joints. Each 3 inch (4g approx) Cinnamon stick has about 35% Daily Value of Manganese, an essential component for bone and joint health.

Directions For 1.25 Cup

Place 1.5 cups water into pot or glass kettle

Add one Ceylon Cinnamon Stick (3 inch length) 
(Break the Cinnamon sticks into small pieces for better brewing if you wish but it is not necessary). 

Cinnamon sticks have to be slow boiled to extract all the Cinnamon, so bring the water to a  slow boil in a pan or stove top kettle. Set the heat setting to medium low so it boils slowly.. This usually takes about 15-25 minutes. Boiling fast will not brew the Cinnamon properly. You will note even after the water has come to a full boil, the color of the water is still only a pale yellow.


Only when the Cinnamon stick cools does the balance of the Cinnamon gets released. When the water starts bubbling remove from heat and let it steep/rest for 15 minutes.
 

As the water cools you will see the the Cinnamon will start to release from the Ceylon Cinnamon stick and it will go from the pale yellow color to a lovely golden red color.

Strain the tea through a very fine strainer to ensure none of the small slivers of cinnamon end up in the cup. If you had not broken the sticks into smaller pieces this is not an issue.

You may have to reheat the tea before serving, unless you kept the stove top kettle or pan on a heating tray to keep it warm.
Yield: 1.25 cups
