Cinnamon milk has amazing health benefits, apart from it’s wonderful taste. I love cinnamon milk and often make it at home. It is wonderfully relaxing and is one of the best drinks to consume before going to bed.
Cinnamon Milk Health Benefits:

It has been estimated that more than 30% of the population suffer from insomnia. World wide, we are getting 20% less sleep than what our elders did. The alarming thing is that even children are getting affected by insomnia.
It has been reported to be increasing day by day. Lack of good night’s sleep increases heart problems, causes accidents and affects our performance greatly. Try making a ritual of drinking cinnamon milk before going to bed, if you are suffering from insomnia.

Both honey and cinnamon are great in increasing the bone density, thus preventing arthritis.

6. For Sore Throat:
Cinnamon is a spice that is great for treating sore throat, this milk also will help you get uninterrupted sleep when you are suffering from sore throat. To make cinnamon milk, warm milk in a pan along with a small cinnamon stick. Switch off and add the honey and vanilla, strain and sip it warm.
How To Make Cinnamon Milk:
METHOD:
1. Heat milk in a pan along with a small stick of cinnamon.
2. Remove from fire and add pure vanilla and honey.
3. Strain the mixture and your cinnamon milk is ready!
NOTES:
- If you use a lot of cinnamon, the smell and taste will be too overpowering.
- Instead of heating the milk with cinnamon, you can infuse the cinnamon in the milk after removing from heat. It will give a milder flavor.
- Try using pure vanilla, instead of artificial vanilla essence.
- I used organic, grass fed whole milk, but you can use any type of milk you prefer.
- This milk tastes really delicious, but try not to skip the vanilla in the cinnamon milk.

What is pure vanilla? Where can I get it in Chennai and how do I ask for it? Does it have any health benefits?
Hi Dhivya, Pure vanilla is a liquid form of the vanilla bean, which is made by soaking the beans in alcohol & water. I got mine from Thekkady. I don't know where you get pure vanilla in Chennai. But you can easily order it online from amazon. Pure vanilla has both antioxidant & cancer fighting properties. It also has a soothing effect on our body and helps boost our metabolism, apart from tasting wonderful when added to dishes 🙂
