TIPS
- Use Ceylon Cinnamon: It’s milder and better suited for regular consumption than cassia cinnamon.
- Whisk Vigorously: Cinnamon doesn’t fully dissolve in water. Whisking helps to suspend the spice.
- Serve With A Stir Stick: A cinnamon stick can double as a stirrer and infusion enhancer.
- Avoid Boiling: Overheating the water may reduce cinnamon’s beneficial properties.
- Drink Fresh: Prepare and consume immediately for the best flavour and effects.
VARIATIONS
- Lemon-Cinnamon Detox: Add juice from 1/4 lemon for a vitamin C boost.
- Spiced Maple Blend: Include a pinch of nutmeg or clove for deeper warming notes.
- Ginger-Cinnamon Combo: Mix in 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger for added digestive support.
- Apple Cider Infusion: Stir in 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for additional detoxifying benefits.
- Vanilla Aroma: Add a drop of natural vanilla extract to create a subtly sweet finish.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Make Ahead Option: Combine dry ingredients in a small jar and add warm water when ready.
- Do Not Refrigerate After Mixing: Best served immediately to maintain aroma and suspension.
- Cinnamon Settling: If storing for a short time, stir again before drinking to remix contents.
- Dry Storage Tip: Store cinnamon in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve potency.
- Portion Packs: Pre-measure cinnamon into small containers for convenience on busy mornings.
