Description
Start your morning with a bright, refreshing drink that’s quick to put together the night before. It’s lightly sweet, gently spiced, and easy to sip throughout the day whenever you need a little pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups - 500 ml boiled water, cooled slightly
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 lemon, cut into slices or small pieces
- 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika
Instructions
- Boil 500 ml water and allow it to cool for a few minutes. You want it warm, not piping hot, so the 1/2 tsp honey keeps its flavour.
- Pour the warm water into a clean glass jar or jug.
- Stir in the juice of 1 lemon, then add the 1 lemon cut into slices or small pieces.
- Add 1/2 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika.
- Stir everything well. The cinnamon may float a little, which is completely normal, so just give it another stir before serving.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to blend.
- Shake or stir before pouring a glass, then enjoy it throughout the day. If you prefer, strain out the lemon pieces before drinking.
