2 items that make a difference
1. Fresh coriander
Fresh coriander (cilantro) can be bought in many shops – either a bunch of leaves in a bag or ‘living’ plant in a pot.
However..
It is very easy to grow at home, and fresh leaves from your own plant will taste even better than shop bought ones.
2. A drinks dispenser
I often make the cinnamon coriander tea when I’ve got some coriander left over from cooking.
However if you would like to serve it as a drink for more people then a drinks dispenser with a tap very useful.
Drinks dispensers come in different sizes and shapes.
For example the one on the right is 3.5 Litres and contains a steel tap which makes serving drinks very easy.
