Sweet and spicy, my dear friend Christie told me about this wintry concoction. And considering how she always treats me to cardamom infusions and fresh mint tea whenever I visit, I was certain this would be just as delicious. So easy and a perfect way to use up the water balloon soft hachiyas sitting in your fruit bowl. Enjoy!
Christie's Persimmon Cinnamon Tea from Claire Thomas on Vimeo.
Ingredients
1 super soft hachiya persimmon (almost like a water balloon)
4 cinnamon sticks (or more, if you like a stronger cinnamon flavor)
Hot water
Mix a 1/2 cup of persimmon pulp with 2 cups of simmering hot water (just adjust if making more tea) plus the cinnamon sticks. Stir to dissolve the persimmon pulp and let the mixture steep for about 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy!

This is the biggest honor I've received since that time my high school skit won 4th place in DTASC. Thanks boo!
Can't wait to cozy up with you this winter break :)
P.S. you make this tea look way better than I remember!
Oh I loved that skit! Followed up with Schulte's "the raven" of course. xoxo
Persimmons have just popped up in my produce section and I'm on a big tea kick right now. I can't wait to try this Claire. Beautiful little vid.
Who does the video work?
