When it comes to cinnamon, there are many different varieties to choose from. But if you’re looking for a truly unique flavor experience, Ceylon cinnamon tea is the way to go.
Here’s what you need to know about this delicious and health-promoting type of tea.
Benefits of Ceylon Cinnamon Tea
Ceylon cinnamon tea boasts numerous health benefits thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants and other natural compounds. Some of the most well-known benefits include:
Reduced Inflammation: Drinking Ceylon cinnamon tea can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. This is thanks to the presence of cinnamaldehyde, an antioxidant compound that gives cinnamon its signature flavor. In fact, studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde can be even more effective at reducing inflammation than ibuprofen!
Weight Loss: If you’re trying to lose weight, this naturally sweet tea can help by boosting your metabolism and supporting healthy digestion. Additionally, the unique flavor of Ceylon cinnamon will satisfy your sweet tooth without any added sugar.
Diabetes Management: Clinical studies have shown that drinking Ceylon cinnamon tea can help manage type 2 diabetes by reducing fasting blood sugar levels and increasing insulin sensitivity. If you have diabetes or are at risk for developing it, consider adding a cup or two of this delicious tea to your daily routine.
How to Make Ceylon Cinnamon Tea
Now that you know all about the amazing benefits of Ceylon cinnamon tea, let’s get to the good part: making it! Here’s a simple recipe for delicious and health-boosting Ceylon cinnamon tea:
See the video.
Ingredients: 1 cup water, 1 Ceylon cinnamon stick, Honey (optional). Milk (optional)
- Place 1.5 cups water into a pot or glass kettle, Add one Ceylon Cinnamon Stick (3 inch length). Close the lid.
- To extract all the cinnamon from cinnamon sticks, you need to slow boil them. To do this, bring the water to a slow boil in a pan or stovetop kettle. Start the heat setting at medium low so it boils slowly, moving to medium, and then medium high, every 5 minutes until 25 minutes is up and it has been boiling for at least 5 minutes. Note – even after the water has come to a boil, the color of the water may only be changed slightly to pale yellow. Only when the cinnamon stick cools does the balance of flavor get released into tea. When water starts bubbling, remove it from heat and let it steep/rest for 15 minutes.
- The water will gradually cool the Ceylon Cinnamon stick, and you’ll see the color change from pale yellow to golden red. Strain the tea through a fine strainer so that no small cinnamon slivers end up in your cup. Yields 1.25 cups.
