Cinnamon infusion

Energy: Negligible unless sweetened (planning figure — the product label is the final reference)

Shelf life: Sticks sealed: 1–2 years. Brewed: serve fresh.

Storage: Airtight, dark and dry.

• Winter hot service
• A caffeine-free "spiced" option to offer next to karak
• Base for cinnamon-honey warmers

Whole sticks, near-boiling water, steep at least 5 minutes covered. Sticks give a clear cup; powder clouds it and turns gritty.

Common commercial cinnamon is cassia, which contains coumarin — normal drink servings are fine, but it is the reason not to push daily mega-doses. Traditionally associated with warmth. Caffeine-free.
