If you don't have any orange peel or simply don't like it, then Cinnamon tea with Ginger is also very good. Both Cinnamon and Ginger are all natural drinks, especially for winter when your bones are aching, your nose is running and you have a massive sore throat. It will revitalize you and bring your energy levels back up.
DIRECTIONS
Grate half a teaspoon of ginger. For easier grating and keep your ginger in the freezer section so it is easier to grate.
Pour 3 cups of water, add the grated ginger into the pan and bring it a fast boil.
Turn off heat, add one Ceylon Cinnamon Tea Bag and let it steep (or brew) with a the lid covering the pan
Squeeze tea bag and remove from pan
Strain the tea into a cup
Add a 1-2 teaspoon of honey or sugar to taste and serve (optional)
Notes :
1. Because our Cinnamon Tea is a high quality Ceylon tea made with 100% real Cinnamon Bark Oil you could actually make 2 cups of tea in a tea pot with one tea bag. It all depends on the size of the cup you use. Try it and see if you like it that way and whether you prefer to use one tea bag per cup.
2. Staining - Remember if you drink tea or coffee everyday (especially without milk) it will stain your teeth. So it is best you brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water to prevent stain build up.
3. Extra water - Note we add an extra 1/2 cup of water to make 2 cups. This is because boiling with evaporate some of the water and some will be absorbed by the tea bag. So always put a little extra water when making tea.
4. Tap water or spring water - You can use plain tap water to make your tea, but the taste of the tea will degrade by about 10% when you do that.
5. Why add Ginger - Gets rid of throat and nose congestion. It helps reduce flatulence fast, improves appetite ad fires up the digestive juices. Also great for cramps.
6. Always add the Honey last. Do not boil honey as it will destroy it's beneficial properties.
WHY CEYLON CINAMON
Unlike ordinary Cassia Cinnamon you find in the stores, Ceylon Cinnamon has low Coumarin levels, so it won't damage your liver, especially if you are a regular Cinnamon tea drinker. Besides Ceylon Cinnamon is mild, yet slightly sweeter. It's not spicy like store bought Cassia Cinnamon, but has hints of cloves and citrus with a wonderful subtle aroma.
