4.25 cups water |
3 three inch ceylon cinnamon stick |
1 tsp. fresh lime juice |

4. Let boil for approximately 3-5 minutes and remove from heat.
5. Let it steep/rest for additional 2 minutes, or to taste based on strength desired.
6. Strain the tea through a very fine sieve or cheesecloth to ensure none of the small slivers of cinnamon end up in the cup.
7. Add one (4) teaspoon of lime juice. Do not use lemon juice as the taste will be different and sweetness of Cinnamon will not come out if you use lemon.

9. Yield: 4 cups
10. Notes:
11. You always add an extra 1/4 cup of water because the water evaporates when you boil it leaving you with exactly 4 cups
12. The ratio of cinnamon to water is 3/4 (75%) of a 3 inch sticks. If you make 2 cups that means you need to put in 1.5 sticks. If you make 6 cups that means you use 4.5 sticks.
