1.5 tablespoons orange zest (preferably organic and well washed)
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
300 ml water
Honey to taste (optional, just to sweeten)
How to prepare this natural infusion
Heat the 300ml of water in a small pot or kettle.
Once the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and add the orange zest and cinnamon (either on the stick or ground).

Turn off the heat, cover the pot and let it rest for another 5 minutes.
Strain the preparation and serve it hot.
If you want, you can add a teaspoon of honey to soften the flavor.
Why is it so beneficial?
Orange zest: rich in antioxidants, especially flavonoids and vitamin C, it helps strengthen the immune system, improves digestion and fights free radicals.
Cinnamon: Known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, it can also help regulate blood sugar and improve circulation.
Honey (optional): if used in small quantities, it provides a natural sweet touch and antibacterial properties.
Additional tips:
Take it on an empty stomach to maximize its cleansing effects.
If you use ground cinnamon, mix the infusion well before drinking so that it does not settle to the bottom.
You can prepare it in larger quantities and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
For a more refreshing effect, add a slice of lemon or a few mint leaves when serving.
This drink is also ideal as a hot option at night if you are looking to relax the body before sleeping.
Precautions:
Although it is a natural drink, it is recommended not to consume in excess. People with digestive problems or pregnant women should consult with a professional before incorporating it into their daily routine.
This orange cinnamon zest infusion is a great way to reap the benefits of simple yet potent ingredients. It is a natural alternative that you can include in your daily routine to take care of your health in a practical and delicious way!
