Cinnamon Tea

Ingredients

• 1 (2"-long) cinnamon stick
• ½"-piece ginger, fresh, washed, cut into roundels without peeling
• Honey / palm jaggery to taste

Method

1. Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a pot. Add the cinnamon stick and ginger; boil on high heat for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the pot from the heat and cover it. Allow it to sit for about half an hour.
3. Strain the liquid, squeezing the cinnamon stick and ginger pieces to ensure that maximum flavour is released. (Allow the water to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.)
4. Add the honey / palm jaggery to taste. Stir and serve immediately.
