Traditional Cretan Canelada is a tasteful cinammon syrup.
You can either enjoy Canelada cold or hot by diluting it with water or carbonated water (in a ratio 1 to 5), or even mixed with your favourite tea or coffee. It can also be used as a topping on ice-cream, greek yogurt or sweets.
Cretan Canelada is produced in Neapoli Lasithiou and contains 50% of Ceylon cinnamon and 50% regular cinammon giving a cinammon syrup of higher taste and quality.
* Personal experience
My yougest daughter loves drinking Canelada. She is used to drinking it during the winter when she had a cold and coughed a lot. A hot tea from cretan herbs (karteraki), with a teaspoon of thyme honey and lots of Canelada was the remedy to treat the symptoms of the common cold and cough.
During the winter she faced lots of colds and had a persistent cough, so every morning we made our hot beverage in a thermos so she could drink it and feel better for the whole duration of her school lessons.
*My tip
I heartily recommend a hot Canelada beverage during the cold winter days and nights for the whole family.
