I have been drinking te de canela, or cinnamon tea, since I was a kid. My mother always made it for us when we had a sore throat, a fever or just because. This cinnamon tea can be sweetened with honey, sugar, or piloncillo, which is Mexican brown sugar, and we often added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. As adults the tea is spiked with pure cane alcohol, which is very common amongst Hispanic people.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups water: 1 piece
  • 1/2 sticks Ceylon cinnamon: 1 piece (broken into pieces)
  • choice of sweetener, such as honey, sugar, or piloncillo: (optional)
  • lemon juice: 0.5 tsp (or as needed, optional)
