🌙✨ Herbal Spotlight: Cinnamon for Winter Warmth ✨🌙
Cinnamon is one of winter’s most comforting herbs — warm, sweet, and deeply supportive for seasonal wellness. It pairs beautifully with peppermint, ginger, citrus, cacao, and chamomile, making it a core ingredient in many cozy, functional blends at The Coftea House.
🔥 Why cinnamon shines in cold weather:
• Warming + circulation support: A classic warming spice that helps the body feel less chilled during cold, damp days.
• Blood sugar balance support: Studies suggest cinnamon may support healthy blood sugar metabolism — helpful during sugar-heavy holiday months.
• Immune & antioxidant boost: Rich in polyphenols that help the body handle everyday oxidative stress.
🌿 Best cinnamon forms for tea:
• Sticks (quills): Slow, smooth flavor; perfect for simmering.
• Chips: Stronger, faster extraction — great for stovetop blends.
• Ground cinnamon: Best whisked into lattes; can get gritty in straight tea.
☕ Simple cinnamon tea methods:
• Stovetop simmer: 1–2 sticks in 2–3 cups water, simmer 10–20 min; add honey or lemon.
• Mug infusion: Break a stick, steep 10–15 min covered for a gentle cup.
• Latte-style: Simmer sticks with water + milk, then add black tea or rooibos for a chai-like brew.
🍊 Winter blend ideas:
• Cinnamon + ginger + orange: Warming and bright.
• Cinnamon + peppermint + cacao: A winter dessert cup.
• Cinnamon + chamomile + apple: Cozy and kid-friendly.
🌱 Safety notes:
• 1–3 cups daily is typical for winter.
• For frequent use, choose Ceylon cinnamon (lower in coumarin).
• If pregnant, nursing, on medications, or managing liver issues, check with a clinician before heavy daily use.
Wrap your hands around a warm mug and let cinnamon bring heat, sweetness, and winter magic to your ritual. ✨
