Boiling Bananas with Cinnamon

• 1 ripe (but not overripe) banana, ends trimmed and cut in half (you can leave the peel on!)

• 2 cups water

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon or 1 small cinnamon stick

• (Optional) 1 tsp honey or maple syrup for sweetness

Instructions

1. Boil:
   Bring the water to a boil in a small pot. Add the banana halves and cinnamon.

2. Simmer:
   Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. The banana will soften, and the water will take on a slightly sweet flavor.

3. Strain:
   Pour the liquid through a strainer into a mug. You can drink it as a banana-cinnamon tea.

4. Optional – Eat the banana:
   You can also mash or eat the softened banana (some people add it to oatmeal or yogurt).
