You will need to use a ceylon cinnamon stick.
You can find it at Mexican grocery stores.
You will find it labeled as “canela” which is the spanish word for cinnamon.
How to make it
Put the water, orange peel, cinnamon stick and whole cloves in a pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium high heat.
Then reduce to medium low and simmer for 7 minutes.
Next remove the pot from heat and add the tea bags.
Let them steep for 5 minutes.
Then discard the tea bags, cinnamon stick, orange peel and whole cloves.
Next add the vanilla extract and stir.
The tea will be very hot so let it cool just a bit before serving.
Pour into a mug and sweeten with honey to taste.
I also like to top mine off with a little milk but that is optional.
