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.
