Cinnamon Tea
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons loose-leaf green tea, preferably Chinese gunpowder green tea or a mild green tea
- 3 to 4 cinnamon sticks, medium
Instructions
- 1
Bring 8 cups of fresh water to a rolling boil in a large kettle or saucepan.
⏱️ 8 min•🌡️ 212°F - 2
Place the loose-leaf green tea into a large heatproof teapot. Pour about 1 cup of the boiling water into the teapot, swirl gently for a few seconds, then immediately discard this water. This step helps to wash the tea leaves and remove any bitterness.
⏱️ 1 min - 3
Add the cinnamon sticks to the teapot with the rinsed tea leaves.
⏱️ 1 min - 4
Carefully pour the remaining 7 cups of boiling water into the teapot. Do not stir.
⏱️ 1 min - 5
Allow the tea to steep for 5 to 7 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the cinnamon and tea flavor will be.
⏱️ 7 min - 6
After steeping, traditionally, this type of tea is poured back and forth between the teapot and a glass several times to aerate and mix the tea, creating a frothy top. This also helps cool it slightly.
⏱️ 2 min - 7
Serve the hot tea immediately in small heatproof glasses. Sweeten with sugar or honey to taste, if desired. Be careful, as the glasses will be hot.
