Notes

Storage: You can store cinnamon tea in the fridge for two days. And enjoy it hot or cold.
Cinnamon: I used Ceylon cinnamon for this recipe and I used 1 large stick of 6 inch broken into 2. Depending on your type of cinnamon and how strong you want the tea to be. The amount of cinnamon used in tea can differ.
Sweetener: Honey is most preferred choice. You can use any sweetener or can have it unsweetened as well.
Optional add-in: Try to select any one spice and 1 tea.
Tea: You can add either black tea or green tea.
Spice: Ceylon cinnamon has lovely taste on it own. Use any 1 spice or herb or skip altogether.
