Introduction:
Sometimes the simplest things in our kitchen can work wonders for our well-being — and we don’t even realize it. If you’ve ever felt sluggish, bloated, or just "off" but couldn’t pinpoint why, your body might be begging for a gentle detox. That’s where this humble but powerful apple and cinnamon drink comes in. Not only is it tasty, but it’s also packed with natural ingredients that could support digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and boost your metabolism. You’ll be amazed at how good you feel after just a few days!
Ingredients:
1 medium green apple (Granny Smith works great)
1 cinnamon stick (or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon)
2 cups filtered water
Juice of ½ a lemon (optional for extra zing)
A few ice cubes (if serving cold)
Directions:
Prepare the Apple: Wash the apple thoroughly, core it, and slice it into thin wedges. No need to peel — the skin is rich in fiber and antioxidants.
Boil the Water: Bring the 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
Infuse: Add the apple slices and cinnamon stick to the hot water. Let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
Cool & Serve: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. For a cold drink, pour it over ice or refrigerate it for an hour. Add lemon juice if using.
Enjoy: Sip slowly, especially in the morning or between meals.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Best Time to Drink: For optimal benefits, drink a cup first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Storage: Store any leftovers in a glass container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Serving Suggestion: Garnish with a fresh mint leaf or a thin lemon slice for extra flavor and presentation.
