Marcy's cinnamon tea

My church family and I are starting the Daniel fast and I wanted to share some options we are using.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum Verum) and Indones...Image via Wikipedia
Instead of coffee or tea, we are using cinnamon tea. You can find the sticks at any grocer or health food store. Boil till reddish and keep adding water each time you run out till no red is in the water. I usually drink cinnamon tea for a whole week before I use new sticks. Great Detoxer. I also use Orange or Lemon tree leaves. Boil for 20 min. and drink with honey. Also, we like spearmint leaf tea. Also found in health food stores, or you can grow your own. Very hearty growers. Boil and drink with honey.

All of these Teas can be had either hot or cold on ice.

Thank you Marcy!

Aren't you not supposed to use sweeteners? This sounds delightful if honey is permitted.

Avoid white sugar. Some allow raw honey. Stevia is the best option. It is like a tea, only sweet and natural. An additional benefit is that Stevia is high fiber.
