I boiled a stick of cinnamon in a saucepan with 1 cup of water. Then I poured that over the tea bag and let the cinnamon stick stay in the mug with while the tea seeped. The I added about a teaspoon of honey to the drink and sprinkled a little more cinnamon (this time ground) on top before stirring it up. It is delicious! It could be my new favorite chill-out-in-the-evening tea. I was relieved to find out it's caffeine free because it's getting late and I already drank it so there's nothing I could have done about it now! haha! I didn't even think to check that before I started creating heaven in the kitchen.
Not only is this drink delicious, both cinnamon and honey are so good for you. I'll do a blog about the benefits of each of these foods soon. :)
It's so yummy that I just had to make a second cup for my husband who thought about stealing mine!
There's more to this story! As I was typing up this blog, my husband apparently discovered Whole Foods' 365 Organic Wildflower Honey and I heard him eating spoonfuls straight from the jar (such a guy!)...then between bites he says "Oh my gosh! Winnie-the-Pooh had it right!" Hilarious! How can I be mad at him for eating from the jar when he says something like that?!
Thanks for the idea, SimpleSaurus! There are various ways to enjoy our tea. As long as it's a good quality tea, the taste should be fantastic! Just minimize putting regular sugar as it destroys the exquisite taste of tea. I suggest you stick with honey for sweetening your tea, since you and your husband enjoy it. Have a great tea time!

Thanks for letting me know that about sugar in tea! I generally don't use sugar but I had no idea it would ruin the tea taste. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. :)
