Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon raw honey about 21 g
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon up to 1/2 tsp if using Ceylon
  • 1 cup water 240 ml, warm
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
  • 2 slices fresh ginger optional, thin slices

Equipment

  • Glass or cup
  • Spoon for mixing
  • Small pot (for warming water)
  • Measuring spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 cup of water until it steams lightly, then take it off the heat. If using ginger, steep the slices in it for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Put the cinnamon in a mug, add 1 tablespoon of the warm water, and stir into a smooth paste so it does not clump.
  3. Pour in the rest of the water while stirring. Let it cool until it is comfortable to sip, not hot.
  4. Add the raw honey and stir until fully dissolved. Add lemon juice if using.
  5. Drink warm, ideally with breakfast. Swirl the mug as you sip since some cinnamon settles.

Notes

  • Never give honey to babies under 12 months old.
  • Use Ceylon cinnamon for daily use; cassia cinnamon is high in coumarin.
  • Add the honey after the water cools so it is not exposed to high heat.
  • Paste version: mix 1 tbsp honey with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and eat from a spoon or spread on toast.
  • This is a food recipe, not a treatment for memory loss. Talk to your doctor if you have diabetes, liver problems, or take blood thinners.
