Need help measuring the right amount of Cinnamon

[Plantacious]

I feel like Cinnamon would be a great way to flavor kava, however in all my experimentation, I can't get the amount right.
If you overdo the cinnamon just a little, it's overwhelming, overpowering, and undesirable.
But I keep overdoing it and can't seem to find that perfect measurement.
I know I'm bound to find it if I keep trying, but how much good kava will I waste in the process, so could someone save
me the trouble, and suggest a certain measurement of cinnamon - per certain amount of ounces of kava, for example ?

Thanks

I don't personally think cinnamon on its own is a good way to mask the flavor. Maybe a cinnamon sugar and milk blend but idk. Lime juice and possible pineapple juice seem to be the best mixes. If your looking for a super convenient ingredient you can try powdered ginger (maybe add a dash of cinnamon to the ginger?) Because the ginger covers excellently. You do have to use a nice sized spoonfull of ginger though.

For another thing to try, lime juice and ginger with kava is great. Like a half a lime and a teaspoon of ginger to 16oz of kava

Thanks, I've seen Ginger Powder in the Spice section of the market, so that may be a convenient option, because I remember trying Ginger Kava somewhere and it was good. Plus the added benefit of helping stomach discomfort

I have used cinnamon to make Kava before, and I was also using coconut milk which may change the way cinnamon behaves, try honey. I love the taste of Kava on its own, to be honest with you, the cinnamon floats on top if it is preground. Are you interested in cinnamon sticks? Drop a whole one into a bowl of roots that gives you 3 or 4 cups of Kava. The whole cinnamon sticks taste sugary-sweet to me. Make sure to know what the taste of Noble Kava is for your own health.

I'm gonna go with the cinnamon stick recommendation. ^

That already sounds enticing. Might as well go with that too.

These are awesome for any kind of hot/cold beverage. I use them quite a bit in different mixes and they are super cheap. $20 for 90 packs. amazon.com/Instant-Ginger-Honey-Crystals-Pack/dp/B004TH09WE/They are just cane sugar, ginger, and honey. They have some with lemon too.
