A new beverage for me: tea with cinnamon sticks.

I wrote a post last week about cinnamon sticks being good for diabetes. Then I remembered that a long time ago, my mother in law made tea with tea leaves and cinnamon sticks. I decided to make some and see how it tasted.
The beverage is delicious and can be had hot, warm or cold. And I imagine that if it has cinnamon it would help. I let it soak in boiling water and as it had too much dye, I added more boiling water.
It is a wonderful alternative to any other beverages. I did not add any sugar.

I love tea hot or cold. Cinnamon is good for lots of things I have friends that use cinnamon and honey on a spoon and it helps boost your metabolism for weight loss.

I read about that too. But as I don´t have cholesterol problems, I did not remember that part.

@much2say Check cinnamon properties. Maybe it is good to lower cholesterol levels.

@marguicha I do have a bit of a problem with it - my parents do too so it must run in the family. In any case, it's another good tea to drink for all kinds of health benefits!

I bet it tastes good with the cinnamon too! Glad there are benefits for cinnamon. The tea I currently enjoy is ginger & cinnamon.

I never tried cinnamon in tea but it sounds like it would be good. I don't have any cinnamon sticks but I guess ground cinnamon would be just as good?

I don´t know. Maybe the water would be cloudy. But cinnamon sticks can be bought for almost nothing at the grocery store.

I love cinnamon but would prefer to drink pure tea but use cinnamon in my dishes.
