Title: Canela
Categories: Beverages Ethnic
Yield: 4 Servings
| 4 | | Cinnamon sticks (canela) |
| 1 | | Small pot of water |
| | | Sugar to taste |
Place cinnamon sticks in small pot, fill pot with water. Bring to a boil
on high heat, lower heat and simmer. Steep cinnamon sticks until water
reaches a beautiful red color. If water level drops too low, add a bit of
cold water, and continue to simmer. To serve, pour out into small cups,
and sweeten with a bit of sugar. Note: This recipe is the one used by my
husband's family every night. He says it's become a bit of tradition in
their family. After enjoying a half dozen cups of canela one evening, it's
a tradition I heartily endorse! Source: The Ortiz Family. MM: Lyn.
