How to Make Cinnamon Tea

• 1 tsp moringa leaf powder
• 1 cup water
• Honey or sugar (optional)

Equipment:

• Small pot
• Spoon for stirring
• Tea strainer or filter
• Mug or tea cup

Instructions:

1. Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot.
2. Add 1 tsp of Ceylon cinnamon powder and 1 tsp of moringa leaf powder to an empty mug or heatproof cup.
3. Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and pour it over the cinnamon and moringa powder in the cup.
4. Stir well with a spoon to dissolve the powders.
5. Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes so the flavors infuse.
6. After steeping, strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer or filter into another cup or mug. This will remove any powder residue.
7. Add honey or sugar to taste if desired. Cinnamon has a natural sweetness that may be enough on its own.
8. Enjoy the cinnamon moringa tea hot! Sip slowly and savor the blend of spices.

Caution: Avoid giving cinnamon tea to children under 2 years old due to risk of liver damage. Ceylon cinnamon is safe for older children and adults when consumed in moderation. Drink no more than 2-3 cups per day.
