Boil The Water: In a saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil.
Add Cinnamon And Ginger: Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon) and freshly grated ginger. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Strain The Mixture: After simmering, strain the tea to remove the cinnamon stick and ginger particles.
Sweeten With Honey: Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm. Honey not only adds a touch of sweetness but also contributes its own set of soothing properties.
Garnish With Lemon: Squeeze a slice of lemon into each cup and garnish with additional lemon slices if desired.
Optional Spice: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for those who enjoy a bit of heat. This optional ingredient can enhance the tea’s effectiveness.
