Cinnamon Tea & Diabetes

We have also shown that the active components of cinnamon are found in the water-soluble portion of cinnamon and are not present in cinnamon oil, which is largely fat-soluble. In addition to ground cinnamon consumed directly, one can also make a cinnamon tea and let the solids settle to the bottom or use cinnamon sticks, which make for a nice clear tea. Cinnamon can also be added to orange juice, oatmeal, coffee before brewing, salads, meats etc. The active components are not destroyed by heat.
Our recent human studies indicate that consuming roughly one half of a teaspoon of cinnamon per day or less leads to dramatic improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. Intake of cinnamon, at these levels, is very safe and there should not be any side effects. There are also companies selling water soluble components from cinnamon that contain the active ingredients with minimal amounts of the components that could be toxic at elevated levels.

Cinnamon Tea Recipe
To make cinnamon tea you need to have these useful ingredients.
INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups water
• 5 cinnamon sticks
• teabags

PREPARATION:
In a pot, teapot or a saucepan you need to have water and  cinnamon sticks  together. You then need to bring the water to a boil. After that is completed you need to allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes. Once that has been completed you need to bring back the mixture to a boil and pour into cups with a teabag.

Add teaspoons of sugar per to your tea as desired.
Although not traditional, warm milk is really good with this cinnamon tea, but I would definitely hold back on the honey and lemon.
