Tips:

Use high-quality cinnamon. The better the cinnamon, the better the tea will taste. Look for cinnamon sticks that are smooth and unbroken, with a deep reddish-brown color.
Grind the cinnamon sticks yourself. This will release the most flavor. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can also use a mortar and pestle.
Use filtered or spring water. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the tea.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low. This will help to extract the flavor from the cinnamon.
Add the tea leaves or tea bags. If you are using tea bags, remove them after 3-5 minutes. If you are using loose tea leaves, steep them for 5-7 minutes.
Add the sugar and spices. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Serve the tea hot. Moroccan spiced cinnamon tea is traditionally served in small glasses.
