Cinnamon and Tulsi Evening Tea
A small cinnamon stick and tulsi leaves simmered with ginger into one mild evening cup.
Cinnamon tulsi tea in the evening
A short cinnamon stick, a few tulsi leaves, and a slice of ginger make a mild evening tea. Five minutes of simmering is enough. The cup is for warmth and fragrance on a cool day, not a cure for cold or cough and not a reason to skip rest or a doctor.
Drink it warm, not boiling, and keep it to one small cup. Skip extra sugar the first time. Cinnamon and ginger can feel heating, so leave the tea if it brings heartburn. A cough beyond a few days, fever, or trouble breathing needs a doctor.
