This was a bit of a hot topic between me and my friend so I’d like more opinions on this. Some people like putting a stick of cinnamon in their tea but I find it just tastes weird. Just me?

    Depends on the tea, really. It can be a nice addition in the winter.
    We’re already adding milk, why not something else too?

    I wouldn’t add a stick of cinnamon - it’s way better freshly ground to make proper masala chai :)

    Cinnamon is often a big component of masala chai, so I don’t see anything particularly controversial about using it in tea as a sole spice. I can see it working with a heavy, malty tea like Assam, especially if made “Indian style” with simmered milk and sugar.
