Ingredients:
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra soothing)
- 1-2 slices of fresh ginger (optional, for added warmth and healing)
Instructions:
Prepare the Tea:
Boil water in a kettle or a small pot.
Once the water is hot, pour it into a mug.
Add Cinnamon:
If using a cinnamon stick, drop it into the mug. If using ground cinnamon, stir it into the hot water until dissolved.
Optional Additions:
If using fresh ginger slices, add them to the tea along with the cinnamon.
Stir in honey and lemon juice, adjusting to your taste preference.
Steep and Stir:
Let the tea steep for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Stir well before drinking, ensuring the honey has dissolved.
Sip and Soothe:
Drink the tea slowly while it’s still warm. The honey helps coat and soothe the throat, while cinnamon and ginger have natural anti-inflammatory properties that may provide relief.
