Here’s a simple and traditional recipe for Cinnamomum cassia tea
🌿 Cinnamomum Cassia Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 stick of Cinnamomum cassia (about 3–4 inches long)
-
2 cups (500 ml) of water
-
Optional:
-
1–2 teaspoons of honey or another sweetener
-
A slice of ginger or a few cloves for extra flavor
-
A black tea bag for a stronger brew
-
Instructions:
-
Break the cassia stick into smaller pieces if it’s large, to release more flavor.
-
Boil the water in a saucepan.
-
Add the cassia pieces to the boiling water.
-
Simmer for 10–15 minutes on low heat. The longer it simmers, the stronger and spicier the flavor.
-
Optional: Add ginger, cloves, or black tea at this point if desired, and simmer for another 3–5 minutes.
-
Strain the tea into a cup or teapot.
-
Add honey or other sweetener to taste, if desired.
-
Serve hot, or let cool and enjoy as iced tea.
☕ Notes:
-
Cinnamomum cassia has a stronger, spicier flavor than Ceylon cinnamon.
-
Avoid excessive intake if you drink cassia tea regularly, as it contains higher levels of coumarin, which can be harmful in large quantities.
