Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick

Instructions
 

  • 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.
