Tea with cinnamon is not only pleasant to taste and an invigorating drink, but also an excellent means for losing weight. Phyllis Balch wrote in her book "Food Cure Recipes" that cinnamon contains a lot of useful substances such as minerals, calcium, chrome, iodine, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, potassium and zinc, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and C. And besides the fact that drinking tea with cinnamon is a healthy habit, in addition, it also contributes to weight loss.
Of course, nowadays it's easy to just go to the store and buy a ready mix of tea and cinnamon and drink it. But still, it would be more effective to make tea on your own, at home. So, how to make homemade tea with cinnamon for weight loss?
Tea with cinnamon in the home
For the preparation of tea with cinnamon, you can use your favorite tea with the addition of both cinnamon sticks and powder to it. There are several good recipes for making slimming tea with cinnamon. The first is the simplest. Brew a mug of tea and add to it 5 grams of cinnamon powder or 2 cinnamon sticks. I would like to mention that green tea , known for its rich antioxidants and its properties to lower the level of cholesterol in the blood and promote fat burning, would be more effective for losing weight. To such tea, honey and ginger can also be added if desired.
There is another very effective recipe for making tea with spices for weight loss. When preparing this drink, the main thing is to withstand the technology:
- Boil one cup of water.
- Add in a mug ½ tablespoon of cinnamon.
- Leave for half an hour to keep the tea cool.
- When the tea has cooled down, add 1 tablespoon of fresh honey (it is very important to add honey to cold tea or tea at room temperature, otherwise the honey loses its useful enzymatic properties).
How to drink?
To achieve the best effect, drink half before going to bed, and put the rest of the night in the refrigerator, covering the mug with foil, or something else. And the second half to drink in a cold before breakfast, on an empty stomach. This is particularly beneficial for reducing the waist, as this drink will improve digestion and bring the state of the gastrointestinal tract in order. If you want to add a little more or less cinnamon to your liking - it is possible, it is important only to keep the proportions of cinnamon and honey - 1: 2. That's what is not difficult to prepare and good tea you can drink every day for weight loss.
