ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction: Hot flushes, a common symptom experienced during menopause or hormonal changes, can leave you feeling uncomfortable and drained. While medications and treatments are available, many people seek natural remedies to help alleviate these uncomfortable moments. One such remedy is a soothing, refreshing drink made from cinnamon, ginger, lemon, and honey. These ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hormone-balancing properties, making them an excellent combination to help reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes. Not only does this drink offer natural relief, but it also supports overall health and wellness.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon honey (preferably raw or organic)
Juice of half a lemon
1 cup hot water (not boiling)
Instructions:

Boil water and let it cool slightly until it reaches a temperature of about 160°F (70°C) to prevent damaging the nutrients in the ingredients.
In a mug, add the ground cinnamon and ginger (or freshly grated ginger).
Pour the hot water over the spices and stir well to combine.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture.
Stir in the honey and mix until fully dissolved.
Allow the drink to steep for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
Sip slowly, enjoying the soothing warmth of the drink.
Tips for Serving and Storing:

For the best taste, enjoy the drink fresh. The warm spices combined with honey and lemon create an uplifting and comforting flavor.
If you prefer a chilled version, let the drink cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it. You can serve it cold with ice cubes for a refreshing alternative.
The drink can be made in larger batches and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Be sure to stir well before serving, as some ingredients may settle over time.
If you want a more intense flavor, let the cinnamon and ginger steep longer, but be mindful not to overdo it to avoid bitterness.
