What is Ceylon cinnamon green tea?
Ceylon cinnamon green tea is green tea infused with Ceylon cinnamon, a fragrant spice associated with Sri Lanka. Green tea has a gently grassy, sometimes slightly astringent taste, while the cinnamon adds a warm, sweet-smelling note without needing sugar. Steep a cinnamon stick with the tea, or add a little ground cinnamon for a fuller aroma.
It can be enjoyed hot at breakfast or as an afternoon drink, much as spiced teas are served in different parts of the world. Drink it plain, or pair it with fruit or a light snack. With virtually no calories when unsweetened, it suits those looking for a flavourful alternative to sugary drinks; shorten the steeping time if you prefer a milder cup.
