    Ingredients

    You need a few easily available ingredients from your spice cabinet and pantry.

    • Green Tea
    • Cylon cinnamon
    • Ginger
    • Lemon
    • See the recipe card for quantities.

    How to Make Cinnamon Tea - Stepwise Pictures

    Here's a step by step method with pictures of how to make cinnamon tea.

    • In a pan add 2 cups of water and bring it to boil.
    • Now add in green tea leaves and switch off the heat.
    • Add ginger, cinnamon and a slice of lemon to it .
    • Cover the pan with a lid and allow it to steep for another minute.
    • Strain and serve.

    Benefits of Cinnamon

    Cinnamon Tea is known for its many health benefits. I am sharing a few of them here with links from various studies.

    • Cinnamon helps to reduce  reduce insulin resistance, Insulin resistance plays a big part in controling type-2 diabetice.
    • It slows down the digestion of carbohydrates and helps in lowering blood glucose levels.
    • Cinnamon also has a anto microbial properties which helps in fighting fungal infections.
    • It helps to prevent tooth decay.

    What is Cinnamon Tea Good For

    • This cinnamon tea is good for detox because it helps in reducing inflammation and blood sugar levels.
    • It is known to improve heart health.
    • Along with diet control and good management, it might help in weight loss.
    • Cinnamon tea may help in fighting infections and is also a known home remedy to reduce PMS and menstrual cramp.

    Which Cinnamon is Best

    Mainly there are two types of cinnamon that are available easily in the market. Cassia cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon. Both have different tastes and look.

    • Ceylon Cinnamon. For making cinnamon tea Ceylon cinnamon is used. This is also known as “true” cinnamon. This is known for its medicinal properties and perfect cinnamon taste. Ceylon cinnamon has a light brown colour. The distinctive characteristic is these have multiple thin layers that are swirled inside. Ceylon cinnamon is slightly more expensive than cassia cinnamon. In the container, it has a very mild flavour but once you add it to any dish its aroma is irresistible and flavours shine through. 
    • Cassia Cinnamon: This is a common variety easily available in grocery stores. With their dark colour and thick single sheet, these look better than true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon has a strong flavour but is not as healthy as Ceylon cinnamon is.

    How Much Cinnamon To Consume In A Day

    As per a study published in the Agricultural Research Magazine, just 1gram of cinnamon per day can help in increasing insulin sensitivity in type-2 diabetes. In another study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it is said that 6 grams of cinnamon could help prevent the risk of hyperglycemia after main meals.

    I personally add about ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder or one-inch cinnamon stick in a cup of water and consume one cup of this tea daily.

    But I am talking about Making cinnamon tea with Ceylon cinnamon here.

    Cassia cinnamon has a compound known as coumarin which can be harmful if consumed in larger quantities. So I suggest do not use cassia cinnamon for making this tea.

    Top tip

    Use Ceylon Cinnamon for the Best Results. This one has a lot of health benefits and medicinal properties.

    I personally consume this tea every day based on my Ayurvedic doctor's advice. I have shared this post as general information only. Even though I have done research on this still I do not claim responsibility for this information. Always consult a medical professional for your own specific health conditions.
