This cinnamon ginger tea can be used hot or cold. It can seat in a fridge during the cold weather seasons. One, because it’s full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent sickness and heal you when you are sick and help keep you healthy, hydrated, and even helps with weight loss; and two, it smells like apple pie and tastes amazing.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- Peel of 1 washed lemon
- 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced into coins
- 16 cups (3.8 L) cold water

INSTRUCTIONS
- Add the cinnamon sticks, lemon peel, and ginger slices to a large heavy bottom pot filled with the cold water. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes.
