Description
A soothing, fat-burning cinnamon weight loss tea made with Ceylon cinnamon, lemon, and honey. This natural detox drink boosts metabolism, balances blood sugar, and supports healthy digestion.
Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick (Ceylon preferred) or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon raw honey (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 slice fresh ginger (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
2. Add the cinnamon stick (or powder) and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and strain if using ground cinnamon.
4. Add honey and lemon juice once slightly cooled.
5. Stir well and enjoy warm before meals or in the morning.
Notes
Use Ceylon cinnamon instead of Cassia for daily consumption—it’s lower in coumarin and safer for regular use.
Avoid adding refined sugar as it negates cinnamon’s blood sugar–balancing effects.
You can refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat before drinking.
For added fat-burning benefits, enjoy before workouts or bedtime.
