It seems like we have all been sick with colds and sore throats since Christmas, so a lot of tea has been prepared in this house. I like to vary it a bit so we are not just drinking the same thing over and over. Here is a simple tea recipe from Sudan to help with the cold weather and sore throats. Sudanese Cinnamon Tea is made by infusing water with black tea and cinnamon sticks. For a strong flavor, add the cinnamon sticks with the tea as it heats up. They can also be added to already warmed tea with sugar cubes for individual tastes.
Ingredients
3 cups water
1 tablespoon black tea (bagged or loose with infuser)
3 cinnamon sticks
sugar cubes for serving
In a small saucepan or tea kettle, heat water over medium heat. Add the bags or infuser. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add cinnamon sticks. If not, place cinnamon sticks in already heated tea until desired flavor is achieved.
Serve hot with sugar cubes.
