40 minutes

Ginger and cinnamon green tea is a warming drink that combines the fresh tartness of green tea with the spiciness of ginger and the warmth of cinnamon. This recipe is inspired by traditional Eastern tea ceremonies where ginger is used for vitality and cinnamon for flavor softness. The drink has a pronounced aroma, slightly spicy and refreshing, with a light sweetness of honey. It not only warms in cold weather but also aids digestion, helping the body recover. Ideal for cozy evenings or morning awakenings, this tea creates a sense of harmony and comfort while revealing the depth of flavor nuances from simple yet powerful ingredients.
