I love the taste of cinnamon. I feel it enhances the taste of so many foods/sweet dishes. I also put cinnamon in my tea. That is, when i set the water for making tea, I put around 5 or 6 small pieces of the cinnamon bark in the water to boil. Another reason why i'm a fan of cinnamon is because it's great for health. It reduces blood cholesterol and is also good for your digestive system. I sometimes take a small piece of cinnamon bark and just chew on it.
My questions to you are
~ do you also love cinnamon?
~ how do you usually have it?
~ have you ever tried cinnamon tea?
~ if you know of any other health benefits of cinnamon, please share them.

Cinnamon is an excellent taste enhancer with alot of health benefits thrown in. Cinnamnon is one of my favorite spices which I prefer not only in tea but also in some food items like donuts, cakes, etc. It helps to rejuvinate me. Brings back my appetite where there is none. Helps to get rid of bad odours. It really does cakes and pasteries really tasty. So go out and grab a few sticks now, Some of the health benefits of Cinnamon are: colds, controlling flatulance, nausea, and diarhea. It is also believed to help improve energy, vitality, ciculation, and is particualry useful to people who tend to feel hot in their upper body but feel cold in the feet. So grab a few sticks today.

I love cinnamon when it's used in sweet foods like cinnamon rolls, spice cake and spice cookies and stuff. i can't stand when it's spicy like in gum or hot candy. I don't particularly like the smell or cinnamon, though. xD

I love cinnamon! I have it in everything I eat, just about, it seems. I mostly put it on my oatmeal and can eat oatmeal only topped with cinnamon. But, I also drink tea with cinnamon in it, too, as well as other spices. It's not only good for the health benefits that you've mentioned, I've heard it's good at managing blood sugar and hunger. I know it works for me better than other spices and additives do.

I like cinnamon and I think it tastes really good and I usually eat cinnamon buns or stuff like that,but I cant stand to eat too much cinnamon because if I do it makes me sick,I have never tried cinnamon tea and dont know if I would ever want to either,and I honestly dont know if there are any other health benefits when it comes to eating cinnamon.
