Ingredients
- 4 cups water 32 ounces
- 3 cinnamon stick medium
- honey or sweetener of your choice, optional
Instructions
- Place the water in a kettle or saucepan and bring it to a boil.
- Once the water reaches a boil, add the cinnamon sticks to the water. You can either break them into smaller pieces or leave them whole for a stronger flavor.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the cinnamon sticks simmer in the water for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse into the water.
- After simmering, use a fine mesh strainer to remove the cinnamon sticks from the water, ensuring a smooth tea without any residue.
- If desired, add honey or your preferred sweetener to the tea while it's still warm. Stir well to dissolve.
