Important Precautions: Sip in Moderation
- Limit Your Intake
- Stick to 1-2 cups per day to avoid potential adverse effects from coumarin, a natural compound found in higher concentrations in cassia cinnamon.
- Choose Ceylon Cinnamon
- Opt for Ceylon cinnamon, also called âtrue cinnamon,â as it contains significantly lower levels of coumarin compared to cassia cinnamon.
- Take Breaks
- Avoid drinking cinnamon tea every day for extended periods. Allow your body to reset by taking a break every few weeks.
