Making a drink steeping cinnamon - is this how it should be?

Question

Im making a little drink, and it says to pour boiling water over the cinnamon powder and let it steep for 30 mins.

Its been 30 minutes, the water has become brown from the cinnamon, and some of the cinnamon is still sitting at the bottom.

Am I supposed to keep the cinnamon in the drink?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, Im new to this stuff.

I guess, like tea leaves, you just drink it and let the sediment stay at the bottom.  I've never heard of anyone drinking hot cinnamon water so I could be wrong.
