Movie Night: Cinnamon Butter Popcorn with Dulce de Leche
Movie Night: Cinnamon Butter Popcorn with Dulce de Leche
Save this recipe for your next movie night! The cinnamon flavor comes from infusing Canelita Tea, which is a rich tea made with a blend of rose hips, cinnamon, and black tea in butter or coconut oil. You can also do this with a 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon instead of the tea.
Notes: Squeezing the tea bags makes sure you get every drop of flavor and butter out of them. This popcorn is best eaten right away. You can also mix the butter and dulce de leche (caramel sauce works too) in individual bowls.
Eat Well,

Instructions
Warm the butter, and dulce de leche separately, in a small saucepan for about two minutes or until warm or place in the microwave in a heatproof container for 20-30 seconds or until warm.
Add the warmed butter over the tea bags. Steep for 10 minutes and remove the tea bags; squeeze them well to get all the flavor out.
Pour the infused butter and warmed dulce de leche over the popcorn, and sprinkle it with sea salt and cinnamon. Mix and eat immediately.
Chef Carla Notes:
- I use an air popper to make my popcorn.
Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
