Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Sweetener:
- 1 tablespoon mild tasting honey
Instructions
- Select a small saucepan or microwave-safe mug to prepare your healing beverage.
- Pour cold milk into the chosen vessel, ensuring enough space for additional ingredients.
- If using stovetop, activate low heat and warm the liquid gently without allowing it to reach a boiling point.
- For microwave preparation, heat on high for approximately one minute, monitoring carefully to prevent overheating.
- Incorporate ground cinnamon into the warm liquid, stirring consistently to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution.
- Add freshly grated ginger to enhance the therapeutic properties and provide a subtle spicy undertone.
- Drizzle pure honey into the mixture, which will help sweeten the tea and coat the throat with its natural soothing qualities.
- Whisk all ingredients together until thoroughly combined and the honey dissolves completely.
- Allow the tea to rest for a brief moment, enabling the spices to infuse their healing essence into the liquid.
- Carefully sip the warm beverage, letting the cinnamon and honey gently caress and comfort your irritated throat.
- For maximum benefits, consume while the tea remains warm but not scalding hot.
Notes
- Adjust honey levels based on your sweetness preference, using less for a milder taste or more for extra soothing comfort.
- Opt for plant-based milk like almond or oat milk to make the tea dairy-free and suitable for vegan diets.
- Use fresh ginger instead of powdered for a more intense, warming flavor that enhances the tea’s therapeutic properties.
- Allow the tea to cool slightly before drinking to prevent burning your already sensitive throat and maximize healing benefits.
