After sharing the benefits of Cinnamon in my last blog post, I thought I would pull together some healthy, seasonal, easy recipes that hopefully
inspire you to find new ways of adding cinnamon to your future meals. I would like to note these recipes are not “Ayurvedic’. My intention with this spice series is to encourage using more spices by sharing their benefits (learned through
my Ayurvedic studies) along with helpful tips and recipes.
I hope you enjoy these lovely recipes I have found on various blogs/magazine websites. If you have any to
share, please let me know. I would love to hear how you are adding more
cinnamon spice to your life.
Cinnamon with my veggies
Cinnamon with meat
And here's one from me....
This recipe is for medicinal purposes--great for when you have a cold or when you feel one coming on. Steeping (not boiling) cinnamon or using tea bags have a lighter quality and may not have the same impact.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 4 sticks of cinnamon
- raw sugar to taste (optional)
Bring 4 cups of water and cinnamon sticks to a boil in a stainless steal pot or kettle and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain and serve. Add raw sugar to taste. (Ayurveda does not recommend heating honey rather eating it raw or mixing it with spices). Makes about 3 cups. Serving size 1-2 cups a day (when ill) for adults and one-quarter to half this amount for kids.
