I have been drinking a tea made by boiling cinnamon sticks with water. I
also drink it cold and it tastes great. In the Middle East this is a
popular drink. I don't know what minerals are in cinnamon but I feel good
after I drink this.

For each cup use the following:
1 cup of water
1 cinnamon stick 2 inches long
honey if you want

Bring to a boil and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Water should be rust color
when finished and cinnamon unraveled.
