Ingredients You Will Need
To make this simple wellness drink you will need the following ingredients.
Two teaspoons honey optional and can be skipped for diabetics
One teaspoon finely powdered cinnamon
Two cups water
Step by Step Method
First start by heating the water. Pour two cups of clean drinking water into a small pot or kettle. Heat the water until it becomes warm but not boiling. You want the water hot enough to mix well with cinnamon but not so hot that it destroys the natural goodness of honey. If the water is boiling let it cool for a few minutes before using.
Next add the cinnamon powder to the warm water. Slowly sprinkle one teaspoon of finely powdered cinnamon into the water. Stir gently using a spoon so that the cinnamon mixes well. Cinnamon can sometimes float or form small lumps so take your time while stirring. Keep stirring until the water looks evenly mixed and slightly darker in color.
Now add the honey if you are using it. Put two teaspoons of honey into the warm cinnamon water. Stir slowly until the honey fully dissolves. Make sure there are no sticky bits left at the bottom of the cup. If you are diabetic or avoiding sugar you can skip this step and still enjoy the benefits of cinnamon water.
Let the drink sit for one to two minutes. This short resting time allows the flavors to blend nicely. Take a deep breath and enjoy the warm aroma coming from the cup. Drink it slowly while it is still warm. Sip gently and allow your body to relax with every mouthful.
This drink can be enjoyed in the morning on an empty stomach or at night before bedtime. Choose the time that feels best for your routine and comfort.
