Can we use cinnamon powder instead of sticks?

Make sure you add honey after making the tea not while boiling it. And there is no replacement of Kashmiri tea leaves in Kavha.

Green tea flavoured with fresh ingredients has a very pleasant taste and aroma.It was a hit when I served this at a tea party as an option to the regular tea.
