Cinnamon Tea is a warm and soothing drink made with only 3 ingredients. You only need water, cinnamon bark, and some sugar or honey to enjoy this classic drink! “Hello Reader! I try my hardest to research recipes as best as I can before posting to ensure I am representing each culture correctly. If this recipe is from your country and I have made a mistake or you have suggestions for how to make it more authentic, I would love to hear! Please leave a comment below letting me know what should be different, and I will rework the recipe. It is always my intention to pay homage and respect to each cultural dish that I cook. Thanks for reading!”

Recipe Origins

Armenia was one of the first countries that I cooked from around the world. So back in 2018, when I first published this post, I originally had gotten the recipe from The Complete Middle Eastern Cookbook by Tess Mallos. While I now have a few more recipes on my site that better represent Armenia, including Vermicelli Rice and Matiabour (Tortellini) Soup, this Cinnamon Tea has remained a favorite of mine as well. I can’t wait for you to try it!

Why Make this Recipe

No Straining: No straining required with this tea! The cinnamon sticks are easy to remove, but you can also serve them up right in your glass! (You may have to strain if any small pieces fall off of your cinnamon bark, but this usually does not happen to me). Pantry Staples: You most likely already have cinnamon sticks in your home, so you can whip this tea up any time. Indulgent but Healthy: The taste of cinnamon already reminds me of dessert, so when I add a bit of honey to this drink it feels indulgent but is actually very healthy.

Ingredients

Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities. Water: I add hot water to the pot so that it comes to a boil faster. Cinnamon Sticks: See below for more info. Sweetener: The sweetener is not a necessity, but you can add it to your individual cup if you’d like to. Granulated white sugar or local honey are two great options.

What Type of Cinnamon Should I Use?

There are 2 different kinds of cinnamon to choose from:

Cassia Cinnamon: Almost all cinnamon found in supermarkets is of the Cassia variety. This variety of cinnamon originated in China, and has since become the most commonly used variety of cinnamon. It is cheap and has a dark brown-red color, which leads to the gorgeous amber color of this drink! Ceylon Cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon originates in Sri Lanka and parts of India. The texture is a bit softer than Cassia cinnamon, and it is far more expensive.

Cassia cinnamon can be toxic if eaten too much. It contains noticeable amounts of Coumarin, which is toxic in large doses. In fact, even 1-2 teaspoons a day of Cassia cinnamon can cause an overdose, leading to liver harm or risk of cancer. If you are going to consume this cinnamon tea frequently, consider using ceylon cinnamon instead! Source. Please note, I am not a doctor and any information on this topic is not medical advice.

Tools

Expert Tips

The more cinnamon sticks you use, the stronger your tea will be. I found what I prefer to be a good ratio, but you can always add more or less depending on your preference!

This recipe is great at soothing a sore throat!

Do not use ground cinnamon to try making this recipe.

For even more flavor, break up the cinnamon sticks into pieces before steeping.

Make it Creamy

If you’d like to add a little milk or cream to your tea, you can absolutely do so! This will give you a creamier tea, which can have a calming effect.

Iced Cinnamon Tea

Iced Tea is delicious on a warm day or as a way to wake yourself up in the morning. If you’d like to add ice to your drink, you can do this as well! For this option, I would recommend making the tea ahead of time and storing it in the fridge so it is already cool when you want to enjoy it. If you want to add some extra flavor to your tea, try these adaptations: Black Tea Bags: Soak the cinnamon bark alongside black tea bags. This will give you both flavors in one drink to add a bit more dimension to your beverage. Soak the cinnamon bark alongside black tea bags. This will give you both flavors in one drink to add a bit more dimension to your beverage.

Recipe FAQs

What is Cinnamon? Cinnamon is a spice made from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree. The inner bark is removed from the tree and then dried until it begins to curl. The result is called Cinnamon Sticks, which we use to make this recipe. Cinnamon sticks can also be ground using a spice grinder to be turned into ground cinnamon (great in sweet treats like Cinnamon Buns or even savory dishes, like this Kabuli Pulao!) When Should I Drink Cinnamon Tea? You can drink this beverage at whatever time of day you’d like. The research I’ve done suggests that cinnamon tea is best to drink at night. There is no proof that Cinnamon Tea will help you sleep, but it is good to consume at night as it can help with your metabolism, lowering cholesterol, etc. Can I Keep Leftovers? Yes! If you have leftover Cinnamon Tea you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container (I like to use a mason jar). It will stay good for 3-5 days. You can then heat it up again before enjoying leftovers OR add ice to it and have Iced Cinnamon Tea. Did you enjoy this Cinnamon Tea Recipe?
