About Cinnamon and Honey
We get different types of cinnamon...
Two types of Cinnamon:
- One is Ceylon cinnamon.
- The second type is Cassia cinnamon.
Ceylon cinnamon is the true cinnamon and cassia cinnamon is known to be the fake kind of cinnamon.
How does cinnamon look like?
Cinnamon sticks appear brown in colour and are of finger size rolls. True cinnamon is the aromatic bark of a cinnamon tree and has got many layers inside the roll.
Fake cinnamon has not got layers inside the roll and is brown in colour too but does not give out any aroma or fragrance.
I am sharing a cinnamon drink that can help effectively with weight loss. Do follow it with the rest of the things such as diet and exercise.
Difference between two Cinnamon
- True cinnamon that is the Ceylon cinnamon is actually the real cinnamon and has lots of fragrance in it.
- Fake cinnamon is the unreal cinnamon that is not suitable for cooking.
- True cinnamon is mainly suitable for cooking purposes and is on the sweeter and tastier side while fake cinnamon is slightly toxic in nature and not suitable or beneficial for consumption purposes.
- Actual cinnamon has got many layers and appears light in weight, very expensive, aromatic with lots of health benefits.
- Fake cinnamon is heavier than the true cinnamon, very cheap and not expensive and also found in abundance whereas true cinnamon is not found in plenty all over the world.
- The conclusion is, always look for true cinnamon that tastes amazing and never opt for fake cinnamon which is not suggested to be consumed.

Leah Vince Cruz
Hello If I used ground cinnamon how much do I need of it to mix in the water? Thank you
Asiya
Add half a teaspoon as it is too strong in flavour...If you feel it less strong you can increase it to 3/4 tsp but not more.

I tried this drink but towards the end of my cup I noticed a lot of cinnamon build-up. That made it hard to finish, what do you recommend?
Asiya
It is better to reduce the quantity of cinnamon as it releases strong flavours as it gets deeply infused.
