Cinnamon coriander tea
Very easy to make Coriander tea has a lovely flavour, and is great on it’s own or with added items like honey or cinnamon.
In addition as a ‘super’ herb it has a large number of health benefits. – Although the chocolate bars in the picture are nice but not so healthy 🙂
For example it can help your digestive system, reduce blood sugar levels and even help your skin, etc.

Alternative coriander tea flavourings
Coriander tea is great for experimenting to add other items. Maple syrup or honey is the most popular one.
For example you could even try adding items like mint, garlic, etc.
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.
