Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 sticks cinnamon sticks preferably dry and intact
  • 1 cup water

Equipment

  • Kettle or pot
  • Mug
  • Strainer or spoon for removing cinnamon sticks

Method
 

  1. Place the cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan or kettle with the water.
  2. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat, observing small bubbles forming around the cinnamon sticks.
  3. Simmer for approximately 8-10 minutes until the cinnamon sticks release their woody aroma and the water develops a light brown tint.
  4. Remove from heat and strain the infusion into a mug to separate out the cinnamon sticks.
  5. Serve hot, allowing the drink to cool slightly before sipping. The liquid should be clear with a faint brown hue and release a woody, spicy aroma.
