-
Boil the Water: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil. This step is crucial as it creates the perfect canvas for the flavors to meld together.

Add the Cinnamon: Once the water reaches a boil, introduce the cinnamon stick or the ground cinnamon. If using a stick, allow it to infuse its flavor fully.
