Here’s the simplest method: Steep a cinnamon stick in hot water for 5 minutes. Add a teaspoon of honey and a squeeze of lemon. Sip it slowly, like you’re trying to savor a good book. You’ll feel the warmth spread down your throat.
Another idea? Make a cinnamon-honey paste and mix it into warm milk. It’s like a golden latte, but with medicinal intentions. Plus, it tastes so good that you’ll forget you’re even trying to heal.
Pro tip: Use Ceylon cinnamon if you can find it—it’s the “true” cinnamon with lower coumarin. It’s pricier, but your throat will appreciate the upgrade.
