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?If you like it, yay. If you don’t like it, nay.
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.
If I have chai tea then I put extra cinnamon in. It’s got a sweetness I love. Lots of extra cinnamon and milk is perfect!
