How to Make Cinnamon Tea Korea

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cinnamon sticks, 4 cups of water, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. This allows the cinnamon to infuse fully, releasing its warm and inviting aroma.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the tea cool completely to room temperature. This step is crucial to prevent the tea from becoming overly bitter or losing its delicate flavor.
  4. Once cooled, transfer the tea to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This chilling process enhances the refreshing quality of the tea.
  5. Before serving, carefully remove the cinnamon sticks. Pour the chilled cinnamon tea into glasses or cups. Garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of pine nuts for added texture and a delightful crunch.
