Can we use cinnamon powder instead of sticks?

Use the sticks as they give a better flavour and are easy to discard.

I used two small apples that fell from our tree and some cut lemongrass leaves from a new plant someone gave me. I still added the lemon juice. This tea is excellent and felt very soothing to my tummy. Relaxing and refreshing- something entirely new and different with that exotic flair. It will be my new favorite tea, thank you! Loved it! Will try cold next time.
