How to Make Cinnamon Green Tea with Honey
Ingredients:
1 green tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose green tea leaves
1 cinnamon stick (or 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon powder)
1-2 teaspoons raw honey (like Georgia Honey Farm’s!)
1 cup hot water (about 175°F to 185°F)
Directions:
- Boil water and pour it over the cinnamon stick. Let it steep for 5 minutes to release that warm, spicy aroma.
- Add the green tea bag or leaves to the cinnamon-infused water and steep for another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves and cinnamon.
- Stir in honey while the tea is still warm (not boiling hot) so it dissolves perfectly.

Pro tip: Add a squeeze of lemon or a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
