Cinnamon and Honey Drink Recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup (240 ml) warm water or milk (not boiling)
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (preferably Ceylon cinnamon)
-
1 teaspoon raw honey (adjust to taste)
Optional additions:
-
A few slices of fresh ginger
-
A pinch of turmeric
-
A squeeze of lemon
Instructions
-
Warm the liquid: Heat water or milk until warm, but not boiling (too hot can destroy honey’s beneficial enzymes).
-
Mix cinnamon: Stir in the cinnamon powder until fully dissolved.
-
Add honey: Let the liquid cool slightly if it’s very hot, then stir in honey.
-
Optional extras: Add ginger, turmeric, or lemon for extra flavor and potential benefits.
-
Drink immediately: Enjoy warm, preferably in the morning or before bed.
Tips
-
Use Ceylon cinnamon instead of Cassia if you plan to drink it daily—Cassia has high coumarin levels which can be harmful in large amounts.
-
Do not boil honey — high heat can destroy some beneficial compounds.
-
You can drink this 1–2 times per day as part of a balanced diet.
