Cinnamon Tea
Cinnamon tea is a warm beverage made by simmering cinnamon sticks in water, resulting in a fragrant, spicy broth with a smooth texture. The infusion deepens as it simmers, creating a visually clear, amber-colored tea with a slightly spicy aroma. The final drink offers a comforting, aromatic experience.
