Treat yourself to this tea filled with the goodness of honey, lemon, ginger, and cinnamon when you’re battling a sore throat or just when you want a hot beverage that’s good for you. The lemon in this nutrient-rich beverage helps you metabolize fat, and the touch of honey helps wean you off overly sugary drinks that boost your energy momentarily only to leave you feeling in the dumps later.
Enjoy this soothing drink in the morning, with ginger to help rev your mind for the day and cinnamon to boost to your heart health. Save extra in the refrigerator to have some on hand any time you want or need a little boost.
